Capital Vintners is excited to hear that four
Michelin-starred chefs and Arnaud Christiaens, a French hedge fund manager and
oenophile, have joined forces to create a new wine brand from four different
Bordeaux appellations.
The chefs - Bruno Menard, Frederic Anton, Alain Dutournier
and Yannick Alleno – have been working with Gerard Basset, a World Champion
Sommelier, to create something new and exciting.
Known as Le Secret des Grands Chefs, the project
consists of four 2009 wines from small vineyards in Paulliac, Saint-Emilion
Grand Cru, Médoc and Pomerol.
President of the project Arnaud Christiaens said: “I am delighted to introduce Le Secret des Grands Chefs, the fruit of four years’ hard
and dedicated work that has been a struggle to keep secret. The combination of
talents from Châteaux owners, the best Chefs, financial support and outstanding
soils can add up to more than a simple Cartesian formula. It is a great story
of man and nature in harmony.”
Christiaens added: “We wanted to produce a new ‘Grand
Vin’. Many said it was impossible. But we did it.”
We look forward to seeing (and tasting) the finished
product at Capital Vintners very soon.
