SAINT-EMILION WINES, A FRIENDSHIP STORY
For Wilson Kwok, the discovery of Saint-Emilion wines is a meetings story. A student in Bordeaux, Wilson Kwok obtained a DUAD degree (Diplôme Universitaire d’Aptitude à la Dégustation). Thanks to a friendship bond he built with a Saint-Emilion family, the Manoncourt, Wilson Kwok even had the chance to train in a Saint-Emilion property. The enthusiast took this opportunity to develop his taste for those wines that have a “spicy and harmonious” character.
