14/11/2020

Every year since 2017, the Tastevinage presents a selection of the jury’s coups de Coeur: the Tastevinage Majors. A mark of excellence which pays homage to the savoir-faire and quality of the award-winning wines chosen from among an average of 1,000 Burgundy wines. The twelve Majors of the 2020 edition have been selected from among 1,146 tasteviné wines.

The 2020 Majors Awards Ceremony was held last Thursday November 12th, from 5.00 to 6.30pm in French (followed by a version in English from 6.30 to 7.30pm) in an original digital format in line with the measures recently introduced because of Covid-19. Members of the Conférie and the producers whose wines were chosen joined in a videoconference in order to present the wines, along with journalists and figures from the world of wine – buyers, wine-tasters, sommeliers and other wine-industry professionals – invited to attend this unique online ceremony.
