Welcome to BORDEAUX LIQUID GOLD
On 7 March last, we were delighted to welcome Julian Poh, Director of the Singapore-based company BORDEAUX LIQUID GOLD, together with a number of his clients, who had come to visit some of the region’s most prestigious châteaux. His clients were not only able to enjoy the privilege of seeing their cases of wine, but were also the first to visit our new, freshly completed, tasting room. Later in the day, dinner in one of the private rooms at the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce offered the perfect moment to discuss current and future perspectives.
