Pytchley Millennium Wine Group
French Wine Tasting
with 51Wines
Friday 11 September 2026 · Pytchley Village Hall
Presented by Olivier Charlette, Founder of 51Wines
An exploration of five French wines from the Languedoc, Loire Valley, Beaujolais and Bordeaux, progressing from a fresh Mediterranean white to a structured Médoc red.
Each member places and pays for their own order — we'll then deliver every Pytchley order together to the village hall about a week after the tasting, so there's no separate delivery charge. Please order by Wednesday 16 September so we can consolidate the delivery.
