Join us for an in-depth exploration of how the unique forests of France shape the character of fine wines. Led by Alexandra Le Floch of Bordeaux, a Ph.D. in enology with over a decade of expertise in oak science research, this seminar will delve into the nuances of French oak terroir. The experience includes a presentation and interactive blind barrel tasting, followed by a reception where you can continue the forest discussion with Alexandra and our TW Boswell account managers.
