Dear Members,

Our June event presents a 3 decade vertical of the Bordeaux wines of Chateau La Lagune, paired with the contemporary French Cuisine of the new and charming French restaurant OCF.

Principal Brand Ambassador Jean Luc Chapel will introduce us to the wines of Chateau La Lagune at this event. Chateau La Lagune was acquired by the Frey family in 2000. The Frey family also owns Paul Jaboulet Aîné and is a shareholder in Billecart-Salmon. The vineyard of Chateau La Lagune total approximately 80 hectares and is planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot.

We will start with the Paul Jaboulet Condrieu Domaine des Grands Amandiers 2010 (RP 90), a recently-launched vineyard from the Domaine. This will be followed by the 1981, 1995, 1998, 2004 and 2009 vintages of Chateau La Lagune, which are being flown in ex-Domaine. This will allow us to do a vertical tasting and also compare the vintages produced before and after the Frey family's acquisition.

The venue, OCF, is housed in a conservation building along the Singapore river, set against a backdrop of colonial shophouses. Chef Jonathan Koh, who is classically French-trained, helms the kitchen with utmost respect and understanding for his produce. Well-versed in vegetables and seasonal ingredients, Chef Jonathan creates his menu around what is given, thus the seasonal menu at OCF. OCF has recently been named by Wine and Dine as one of Singapore's top restaurants of 2013.

Members will have priority over guests during the first 48 hours after the sending out of this bulletin due to the extremely limited size of the restaurant. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
