[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The Korean branch of the French Rhone Wine Knights announced on the 15th that it will hold the "9th French Rhone Wine Knights Conferment Ceremony" in Seoul and Busan on the 17th and 18th.


This event marks the ninth conferment ceremony since the Korean branch was first established in Asia, where the international honorary title of French knighthood is awarded. It is a prestigious event that honors individuals as private international diplomats responsible for international exchange and friendship through wine.


Patrick Galland, the Grand Master, will visit Korea directly from France to personally conduct the knighthood conferment ceremony alongside Consul Lee Dong-hyun and Consul Jeon Ik-gwan of the Korean branch. On the 17th, 40 people will receive knighthood at The-K Hotel Geomungo Hall in Seoul, and on the 18th, 20 people will be knighted at the Wine School in Busan.


The Rhone Wine Knighthood conferment ceremony was held 50 times in France this year. Over 5,000 knights are active worldwide, and in Korea, a total of 320 people have been knighted through eight ceremonies.



The Rhone wine-producing region, "C?te-du-Rh?ne," is famous as one of the three major wine-producing areas in France alongside Bordeaux and Burgundy. In particular, the Pope's wine, "Chateau Neuf du Pape" domain, is widely known.
