The property is well-known for the development of its bioviticulture method that is based based on maintaining a balanced ecosystem with the replanting of rural hedges to encourage integrated pest management, insect hotels, bird houses, a conservatory, a natural water treatment plant and biodiversity in the vineyard... This is what gives Château Guiraud s 100% natural Sauternes its authenticity and its exceptional depth of aromatic range.

9 THE NEW CHATEAU GUIRAUD Since 2000, there has been a gradual but clear change in the style of Château Guiraud s wines. Today, they have grip and structure, but are cleaner, lighter and more elegant. The nose offers well defined aromas while, on the palate, the wines have a seductive fullness and discreet opulence.

12 TABLE , A star is born Champagne Dumangin was created by Hippolyte Dumangin. Gilles Dumangin, 5th generation of successful winemakers, upped the range by introducing the several high class champagnes that helped position his top of the range wines. He has received high praises from prospective customers and press alike. Créateur de Cuvées, he has over 15 different Champagnes at any time in his portfolio. He has been called many times to make Champagnes for designer brands. His latest creation the Trio des Ancêtres is a wonderful trio of single grapes Chardonnay/Pinot Noir & Meunier named after his ancestors: Firmin, Hippolyte & Achille. Innovation through Tradition The Champagne region has seen many improvements in winemaking processes. General quality has been raised but this has led to uniformity in most champagnes. Champagne Dumangin believes in uniqueness The Dumangin Rosé is a good example: thanks to its untypical blend of vintage cuvées and red wine from Pinot Meunier, it exhibits finesse and fruit rather than vinosity and strength. Obtaining the right balance between traditional methods and modern techniques is a difficult but enjoyable exercise. Dumangin Champagnes are handled very gently from grape picking to bottling in their tank room in Chigny Les Roses. Careful manual riddling, in-house disgorgement & dosage ensure quality at all steps. To add an additional twist, dosage liquor is aged in perfumed oak cask. Dosage is a very important part of Champagne Dumangin J. Fils... Each bottling enjoys different dosage through its lifecycle to provide the best possible tasting experience. Disgorgement dates are added to back labels alongside with other informative details as well as a QR code. 12

26 TABLE Albert Bichot, the epic story of a great Burgundy House founded in 1831 : Since 1350, the Bichot family has made Burgundy its home. Their emblem is a deer and the family only became attached to vines and wines during the 19th century. In 1831, Bernard Bichot founded a merchant house bearing his name. The family heritage has been perpetuated from father to son since then. Since 1996, AlbéricBichot (aged 44) represents the 6th generation managing the company. Under his momentum, an upstream quality control strategy was developed at the beginning of the 1980s. In the logic of getting the best fruit to create the best wine and best express terroir,, Albert Bichot has acquired vineyards in the most reputed growing areas. In addition to this expertise as a wine-grower, Albert Bichot carefully sources grapes in order to vinify and age its négoce wines and therefore control quality as far as possible. To each sub-region corresponds a Domaine, which refers to not only owned vineyards but also to a standalone structure dedicated to wines of the area including viticulture and vinification teams and facilities (equipment, cellars). Today, the House owns a little more than 100 hectares of vineyards in Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise thanks to four exceptional estates: - Domaine Long-Depaquit in Chablis (65ha) -Domaine du Clos Frantin and Château Gris in Nuits-Saint-Georges - Domaine du Pavillon in Pommard (17 ha) - DomaineAdélie in Mercurey (4.2 ha) Iconic names along with some monopoles have contributed to the family recognition. As one of the benchmarks in Burgundy, Albert Bichot s wines are served at the best restaurants in France and in over one hundred countries throughout the world..

28 TABLE 13 Making a good wine, as any good cook will know, requires good ingredients. The ingredients in our profession are the terroirs. They are the decisive factor in achieving proper and complete ripening of the grapes. Luckily, Nature has bestowed Bordeaux. Our region boasts of having one of the largest shares of the top terroirs in the world. The recent occurrence of global warming, the advancement in techniques of vine growing and wine making, and the emergence of technically sound and motivated young managers has brought to light some new terroirs which were dormant until now. These are the wines that I wish to share with you-authentic and generous wines of terroirs made by vine growers. These are the men who make the wine and it is for their pleasure that we constantly improve our production techniques. Bordeaux winemakers since 1890, the vineyards Lataste have developed a real expertise and have remained true to the values that made their history rich and original; a reference to terroir, a constant search for quality and a spirit of innovation. Passionate for vineyards, each of our properties is managed with enthusiasm, dynamism and discipline to highlight the different Bordeaux soils and we produce unique, authentic and generous wines. 28 Ever since I was born on May 21st 1965 at Chateau de Lardiley in Cadillac, Bordeaux s earth has adhered to my feet. Forty eight years hence, this passion, this virus for vineyards and wines is still with me. Son of a vine grower, I continued to remain so as I took over our family estate Chateau de Lardiley in Cadillac appellation and Chateau Mamin in Graves appellation. I also took my passion further when, about 20 years ago, I began business activities as a Bordeaux wine merchant out of love for travel and selling and out of a desire to promote and share our wines.

40 TABLE 18 In 1988, Michel COULLOMB set up the family estate located at the very south of Côtes du Rhône appellation, a few kilometers from the Pont du Gard. His Domain is located between Nîmes and Avignon, and between Arles and Remoulins.

42 TABLE 19 Jonathan and Rachel Treloar own and run this small, highlyregarded vineyard and winery in the Roussillon, France's most exciting wine region. Their path was rather unusual. They lived and worked within 500m of the Twin Towers on September and witnessing that event made them rethink their life and provided the catalyst to make a dream a reality. On the 10 hectare estate, they do all the work in the vineyards and winery themselves. It is a labour of love to make the best wine possible at an accessible price, even if the quantities are very limited. Domaine Treolar wines have received starred entries in France's Guide Hachette and have been highly praised by international wine critics such Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson, who lists them among her favourite 35 producers in the whole of the Languedoc-Roussillon. In 2013, the Domaine was chosen as the Coup de Coeur (Favourite) Roussillon producer by La Revue du Vin de France, the country's most influential wine magazine. 42

44 TABLE 20 After 12 years working for a wine negociant, Gérard BEZES decided in 1972 to create his own wine merchant company called LA CAVE. From 1987, he decided to sell only wines bottled at the estate. A risky strategy at the time since he had to create the need for these kin of wines. This transition was possible thanks to the buying of a first bottling-line truck, and the creation of the SIMEB (Industrial Bottling Company). This asset allowed Gérard BEZES to develop a partnership with several owners of Languedoc- Roussillon estate and also to develop his range of wines bottled at the Domaine or Château. Today Gérard BEZES manages these two companies with his son Nicolas. These two activities of trade and wine bottling being very complementary. LA CAVE ensures a full production from the vat to the bottle. It manages supplies, bottling, stocking and logistics. Besides, Gérard BEZES and all his staff got involved from 2001 towards quality and professionalism and in 2003, SIMEB acquired the ISO 9001 version 2000 certification. 44
