The alliance will be celebrated in Paris on April 12, 2023 at the Grand Véfour which has been named one of the 15 best restaurants in the world.

The guests include wine afficionados traveling from the US and Argentina to attend the event, Anamaria Spiceley, founder of Le Cercle W-I-N-E, as well as other personalities in the Parisian wine scene.
About Le Cercle W-I-N-E:
W-I-N-E is a wine merchant of fine and rare wines with exclusive “Allocations”, for connoisseurs who have a desire to share their common passion and emotions through a selection of curated wines.

Every month, she hosts two special events for the friends of Le Cercle W-I-N-E, together with exceptional winemakers and producers, in the form of either Wine Tastings, Master Classes or Gastronomic Dinners. The last two Master Classes were organised around two premium Champagnes: Domaine Jacques SELOSSE and six of its vintages and Domaine Pascal AGRAPART and seven of its vintages, an evening hosted by Pascal Agrapart and Le Cercle. Access to Le Cercle W-I-N-E is by invitation only and by sponsorship of existing members. The financial participation to join the Circle is yearly and symbolic.
