Created in 1950 by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, the Tastevinage seal of approval singles out the wines most authentically representative of the great Bourgogne winegrowing region, from Chablis to the Beaujolais crus.
Made up of a jury of experts from the wine industry– growers, merchants, co-op representatives, brokers, sommeliers, oenologists, restauranteurs, buyers, retailers, journalists and influencers– the Tastevinage consists of a rigorous examination where each wine undergoes a ‘blind’ tasting in order to ensure the judge’s impartiality.
At the end of the selection process, the Tastevinage seal is awarded only to those wines that most accurately define the character of their appellation and vintage, thus providing the consumer with a guarantee of authenticity and pleasure.
