Join Anne McHale MW and Alun Griffiths MW at this illuminating masterclass, focused on specific Bordeaux Theory topics from the D3 module of the WSET Diploma

 

šŸ·Ā  The focus will be firmly on the D3 Theory specification, past/potential exam topics and areas where you could benefit from more context and explanation of the content in the D3 book. For example…

šŸ·Ā  …could you have confidently answered this question from October 2019 using only the D3 book content? The book only has 289 words of content on this topic:

BordeauxĀ has a unique commercial system, known asĀ La Place deĀ Bordeaux. Identify the parties involved and explain their roles in the distribution of the regionā€™s wines.

 

šŸ· Having the opportunity to learn from Alun about Bordeaux in more depth than the scope of the book permits will allow you to add colour and understanding to an exam answer, should a question on this core region appear

šŸ·Ā  You will also find that his expertise will help to bring these topics alive for you more than the book, which will in turn help you to remember them more easily!

šŸ·Ā  Many of the concepts covered will have application across other exam questions even if these particular topics don’t appear.

 

The masterclass will be moderated by Anne and will last between 1 hour and 90 minutes, including a Q&A session at the end where you can ask Alun your questions via Zoom chat.

 

šŸ·Ā  Masterclasses will be recorded and a limited-time replay available afterwards for all registrants

šŸ·Ā  Non-D3 and non-WSET Diploma students are very welcome to register, on the understanding that the focus will remain very much on D3
