"Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve are two wine journalists but also two of the best read and most respected critics in France. In 2006, they set up The Paris Grand Tasting with a desire to create an event where wine lovers could share all the different aspects of wine culture. This event now held annually in the Carrousel du Louvre has become a great success. It will this year cross the Channel and inspire The London Experience by Bettane + Desseauve. All wine lovers, whether beginners or connoisseurs, will be able to enjoy every moment of their visit through tastings, exceptional encounters with wine growers, in a great setting. They will also be able to take part in Master Classes during which prestigious wines will be presented by wine producers and British and French experts."

Il ajoute :
"I spent a lot of time deciding on my 10 Best Wines in 2012. I tasted close to 4,000 wines officially for this website and the Asia Tatler magazine group, which has monthly luxury magazines in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand.
It was hard to decide on just 10 wines. I just tasted too many outstanding wines this year – mostly Italian and Bordeaux, but a good number of Australian, Californian, and New Zealand as well as selected wines from other parts of the world. It was a fun and exciting year of tasting that lead to many discoveries and confirmed many of my thoughts from before."
