Founded on 7 May 1994 on the initiative of Yvon Jousson, who passed away in March 2026, and a group of fine wine enthusiasts, the Confr\u00e9rie de Saint Romain en Bordelais had as its primary mission to organise the village\u2019s annual Wine and Cheese Fair (first weekend in May) and to promote its winegrowers.<\/b><\/p>

After a few years and several events at various wine fairs, and thanks to a few dedicated volunteers, the Brotherhood <\/b>found its place, first in the canton, then throughout France. The Brotherhood then decided to establish its first<\/b>st<\/b><\/span> Magistral Chapter of Saint Romain <\/b>(the Saturday closest to Saint Romain\u2019s Day, in late February). Eleven brotherhoods attended this first gathering on February 27, 1999\u2026 77 in 2004\u2026 84 in <\/b>2005\u2026 132 in 2010, and currently around sixty.<\/b><\/p>

The Brotherhood is growing steadily in France and now in Belgium, Spain, <\/b>Portugal, and Italy, celebrating the excellence of Bordeaux, Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur, and other wines from the Libourne region.<\/b><\/p>

We are twinned with the Spanish wine brotherhoods of La Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Los Vi\u00f1os de R\u00edas Baixas.<\/b><\/p>

Based on an idea by Gilbert Mitterrand, Mayor of Libourne, during the 6th Magistral Chapter in 2003 at the Maison de Pays of the Canton of <\/b>Fronsac, the Confr\u00e9rie de Saint Romain en Bordelais officially became:<\/b><\/p>

BROTHERHOOD OF SAINT ROMAIN IN BORDEAUX AND THE LIBOURNE REGION<\/b><\/p>

The Brotherhood is listed as part of France\u2019s Universal Cultural Heritage, is a member of the Federation of Brotherhoods of the Regions of France, and <\/b>the International Federation of Wine Brotherhoods (alongside the Jurade de Saint-\u00c9milion).<\/b><\/p>

Mission: Thanks to tireless work on the ground and meetings with numerous wine and gastronomic societies, <\/b>our Brotherhood has become one of the leading representatives of wines from the Bordeaux and Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur appellations, Saint-Romain, the <\/b>Libournais, and the Bordeaux region. While there are very few winemakers among the Brotherhood\u2019s ranks, all the Dignitaries are great connoisseurs of <\/b>fine wines, their history, and their legends; all are committed to defending and celebrating the finest Bordeaux wines.<\/b><\/p>

Project: Organizing our 27th Master Chapter in Saint-Romain-la-Virv\u00e9e on Saturday, February 27, 2027; participating in the Vinifra Wine Fair <\/b>Vinifra, if it takes place, or at events organized by the town of Saint-Romain-la-Virv\u00e9e, or at Christmas markets or summer night markets, <\/b>hosting activities at senior care facilities, organizing a bingo game or a yard sale, etc.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
