A collection of 18 of the most prestigious Bordeaux Grands Crus, together with their respective owners and brand ambassadors, were presented in a luxurious wine dinner at Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila’s La Veranda at Spiral, in cooperation with AWC Philippines and Barrière Frères.

Guests enjoyed an evening of gastronomy with premium wines – Château Beychevelle, Château Brane Cantenac, Château Cantemerle, Château Dassault, Château D’Armailhac, Château Clerc Milon,  Domaine de Chevalier, Château Dufort Vivens, Château Haut Bages Libéral, Château Giscours, Château Du Tertre, Château Guiraud, Château d’Issan, Château Lagrange, Château Lafon Rochet, Château Marlartic Lagravière, Château Pedesclaux and Château Talbot – paired with the unparalleled culinary offerings from the 21 dining ateliers located at the Spiral. 

Among the lauded pairings include the Château Beychevelle 2008 paired with Angus Beef Rib Eye Teppanyaki from the Hot Japanese Atelier, Château Haut Bages Libéral 2005 paired with Lamb Seekh Kebab from the North Indian Atelier, Château Pedesclaux 2012 with Pork Sisig from the Filipino Atelier, and Château Guiraud 2011 paired with Seared Foie Gras from the French Stove.

A highlight of the evening was the silent charity auction for the 20-34-year-old prized vintages, a wekk-long stay and a Rolls Royce tour in one of the chateaus, wine tasting and degustation of the Grand Crus and vintages in the auction winner’s birth year, with over $12,000 raised for the Aboitiz Foundation’s Pawikan (sea turtle) project.
