Bibendum to showcase family wineries at artisan tasting

Published: 18 September, 2012

Bibendum is set to welcome more than 40 producers for its Artisan tasting on September 24 in London.

Among the small, privately-owned wineries are Castellare di Castellina, Chateau Pierre-Bise, Domaine Boisson and Domaine Cheysson.

Fiona Cochran, Bibendum marketing director, said the tasting is about focusing on family-run, often one-man-bands or husband and wife teams with a "commitment to quality over mere commercial factors".

She added: "Their wines are among the most engaging and unique in our portfolio but it's not always possible to put the spotlight on them and give them a chance to tell their stories; which is where the tasting come in.

"The tasting is also a great opportunity for us to launch our new producers such as Gaja's Ca'Marcanda and Paul Jaboulet Aine. In terms of audience, we are inviting sommeliers, owners and operators and key buyers from the on trade and independent merchant sectors."

Producers are to show two to three wines each between 3-9pm at the Gallery, Soho, London.
