SGC is a brand of 4 Bordeaux wines coming from parcels that were not discovered at the time of the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, coming from secret parcels on both left and right banks of Gironde river, benefiting from specific soil components to produce a Grand Vin. SGC parcels are small in size and produce a red wine in the following appellations: Pauillac, Medoc, Pomerol and Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.〔 Each of the 4 wines has its own blend of grape varieties matching the specifics of the appellation. In average SGC produces 3500 cases per year.〔 Created by Arnaud Christiaens, a former financier in 2006, it quickly gained recognition from famous wine critics such as Michel Bettane and Jancis Robinson〔 . World champion sommelier Gérard Basset is the ambassador of the brand.〔 ==History== Oenophile financier Arnaud Christiaens founded SGC in 2006 with the goal to produce a wine good enough to compete with the best of the appellation. Jancis Robinson wrote "This is a scheme designed to kick the whole Bordeaux system where it hurts most".〔〔 Four Michelin-starred chefs have been chosen to endorse part of the production for each appellation: * Yannick Alléno for the SGC Pomerol 2009 * Bruno Ménard for the SGC Pauillac 2009 * Frédéric Anton for the SGC Médoc 2009 * Alain Dutournier for the SGC Saint-Émilion Grand Crû 2009 The enterprise bore its first results with the production of 2006 vintage. As of 2013, the wine is sold by invitation only and the only exception from this being Hedonism Wines Mayfair, London.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SGC (wine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
