Le Ban du Millésime
France
The Ban du Millésime was held for the first time in 2000 and initiated by and for the merchants to mark the end of the primeurs week. At the time, it was organised in famous Bordeaux venues such as the Palais de la Bourse and the CAPC.
In 2023, it gave way to its big sister, the Fête du Bontemps, which will bring the Primeurs week to a close in an even more grandiose way, and in the Châteaux.
