LVCA Winemaker Parallel Tasting Salon

LVCA is the realized vision of two individuals: Ludwig Vanneron master winemaker of Bordeaux and New Zealand winemaker and vintner Chase Arquette. This exclusive partnership of two extraordinary men passionate about producing exceptional wines makes New Zealand’s most compelling blends.

A partnership that began in 2016, time has not diminished the air of mystery around LVCA. However, there is no question that a great deal of the wine's excellence is due to the vigneron and partnership with the land. These decisions, timing of practices, and attention to minute detail lead to the growing of exceptional fruit, and how the role of that exceptional fruit then plays into the LVCA standard of near-perfection is second to none.

This parallel wine-tasting salon covers all the works of LVCA winery since 2017, including LVCA Le Galant and Le Charmant from 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. And the Chardonnay brewed by the LVCA team. This tasting salon hopes to appreciate LVCA's Bordeaux blend brewing strength and its product potential from multiple angles in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

The 'magicians’ behind the wine, Monsieur Ludwig Vanneron and Mr. Chase Arquette will 1st time present to you the finest wines:
