For long time wine snobs considered Luding to be an importer and distributor of cheap supermarket plonk. Maybe the majority of Luding revenues is still coming from cheaper wines, the perception of the company has dramatically changed during the past several years thanks to the arrival of their fine wine project – “L-wine”.

The team behind the project is definitely passionate about fine wine education in Russia. “Le tour de vin” that took part at Ritz Carlton just in froте of Kremlin on the 12-13 of March is another good example of sharing fine wine knowledge with the right audience.

Olivier Poussier – a world-famous sommelier working with L-wine wine portfolio – came to Moscow to present in person the wines of Château des Rontets, Domaine de Montille, Domaine Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin, Domaine Michel Bouzereau et Fils, Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils and many more. He also held a tasting of Domaine Jean-Paul and Benoît Droin wines of Chablis. Michel Drappier was also here to talk ensure his Champagnes are not left alone. Chateaus Chasse-Spleen wines has also been tasting in a vertical flight.

Another impressive tasting included the Loire wines from L-wine and was conducted both by Poussier and Patrick Baudouin (Domaine Patrick Baudoin).

Mr. Poussier also commanded a dinner with a wine quiz and a raffle that offered a trip to L’Ecole des Vins de Bourgogne as a main prize.
