About Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux (UGCB)
The primary mission… From Tokyo to Montreal, passing through New York, London, and Paris, the Union members pursue their main objective, in collaboration with distributors, brokers, and merchants: to meet nearly 40,000 professionals and enthusiasts worldwide each year to present their latest vintages. Thus, driven by the owners of Châteaux or their estate directors, approximately 80 events and gatherings are held annually in about fifteen countries: France, of course, Europe (Germany, Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands), the Americas (United States, Canada), and Asia (Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore). It appears that the Union has often been a pioneer in opening pathways to these markets, particularly in Asia.
