The Grand Jury Du Vin: Appraising High-Quality Wines Since 1996
An Independent Body for Wine Assessment
Founded in 1996 by François Mauss
The European Grand Jury is an independent body that compares and assesses high-quality wines at tastings according to objective criteria, awarding medals and trophies to the best wines.
The Grand Jury du Vins objectives are:
- To assemble a panel of tasters capable of offering wine enthusiasts a broad general assessment.
- To provide consumers with a reliable and independent guide to the best wines on the market.
The Grand Jury du Vin is made up of a panel of 120 wine experts from around the world. The panel includes winemakers, oenologists, wine journalists, and sommeliers. The panel is divided into 10 sub-juries, each of which is responsible for tasting and assessing wines from a specific region or country.
The Grand Jury du Vin tastings are held twice a year, in April and October. The tastings are blind, meaning that the tasters do not know the identity of the wines they are tasting. The wines are judged on their appearance, aroma, taste, and overall quality.
The Grand Jury du Vin medals and trophies are highly coveted by winemakers around the world. The medals and trophies are a testament to the quality of the wines that have been awarded them.
The Grand Jury du Vin is a valuable resource for wine enthusiasts around the world. The Grand Jury du Vin tastings and awards provide consumers with a reliable and independent guide to the best wines on the market.
