About Cercle Rive Droite
Le Cercle Rive Droite de Grands Vins de Bordeaux (The Right Bank Circle of Great Bordeaux Wines) was founded in July 2002 in order to promote fine wines from the region. The organisation groups together 143 châteaux. Its members produce wines from a diverse range of appellations, including Pomerol and Saint Emilion.
Cercle Rive Droite aims to promote the reputation of wines of the finest quality; all its wines are evaluated through blind tastings, which are held twice a year by an independent jury.
The Cercle Rive Droite advance tasting event will be held on Tuesday 19 March 2013 at The Terrace Restaurant, at Le Méridien Piccadilly, in the heart of London, from 4.00pm to 9.00pm.
