The story of the Comtes von Neipperg begins in Stadtteil Neipperg, in Southern Germany’s Landkreis Heilbronn, where the family was making wine as early as the 12th century. In the 1970s, Count Stephan von Neipperg and his family extended its interests to France, and has since built up a portfolio of vineyards and estates in Bordeaux, Bulgaria and South Africa.

The Bordeaux holdings are Château Guiraud in Sauternes, which produces one of France’s most prized sweet white wines; Château Canon La Gaffelière and La Mondotte, both of which are Saint-Émilion Premier Cru Grand Cru Classé; Clos de L‘Oratoire Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, and the neighbouring Grand Cru Château Peyreau; and the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation Château d’Aiguilhe.

Clos Marsalette in the Pessac-Léognan Bordeaux appellation is jointly owned by Count Stephan von Neipperg and Didier Miqueu.

This special dinner will see Count Stephan von Neipperg present some of the finest red wines from his Right Bank Bordeaux properties in Saint-Émilion and Côtes de Castillon, made according to meticulous winemaking standards set out by Stephan von Neipperg himself.

Count Stephan’s winemaking philosophy is based on respect for the characteristics of each terroir of the family’s remarkable vineyards. Particularly notable will be the wines from La Mondotte and Château Canon La Gaffelière.

A special menu has been created to match the wines, which will also be offered as takeaway items. Early bookings are advised.
