Waud Investment Wine 2015 En Primeur Campaign Launch – Nicholas Mee Aston Martin

Waud Investment Wine 2015 En Primeur Campaign Launch – Nicholas Mee Aston Martin

In the last week of March we held our two launch evenings for the eagerly awaited 2015 vintage campaign. Both were held at Nicholas Mee Aston Martin in Hammersmith, the first night for existing investors and Waud Wine Club interested members. The second night was a special and very successful night put on for Barclays Wealth customers.

Nicholas Mee is Aston Martin’s official London’s Heritage dealership and we are delighted that they agreed to co-host the events with us. Our 30 guests on the Barclays evening were treated to a guided tour of the workshop before returning to the impressive showroom for the investment presentation. After a drinks reception with our Mas de Daumas Gassac Rose Frizant, we enjoyed a fascinating presentation by our Bordeaux En Primeur wine buyer, Stuart McCloskey. The evening concluded with a vinous treat, a blind tasting of three separate vintages – namely 2007, 2009 and 2012 of Chateau Pontet Canet in Bordeaux’s Pauillac region. In order to make the tasting competitive, one of the wines in the tasting had been awarded 100 Parker Points out of 100 – and we challenged the guests to guess which wine was the 100 pointer. If they correctly guessed the 2009 vintage, they were in with a chance of winning an Aston Martin.

Congratulations to Siobhan Pillmore, who took the spoils and went home with a brand new Aston Martin DB5 (miniature version!)
