Discover the selection for the Cave de Prestige 2018

Discover the selection for the Cave de Prestige 2018

This event allows the Bourgogne Wine Board (BIVB) to select the wines that will be representing the region over the next 12 months, through the BIVB’s promotional and training activities in France and around the world. This year, the President of the BIVB hailed the ever-increasing quality of the selection.

An edition with stiff competition!

In 2018, of the 1,138 samples submitted, 218 cuvées were selected (68% from estates, 9% from cellars, and 23% from négociants).

The 2016 vintage was the most popular, accounting for 133 wines out of 218. This illustrates the clear potential of this vintage which, despite low yields due to the unreliable weather in the spring of 2016 with frost and hail, is clearly a great one in terms of quality.

The BIVB buys all the wines selected for the Cave de Prestige. In 2018, almost 14,500 bottles were purchased by the BIVB.

You can discover these wines which are offered for tasting at events organized by the BIVB throughout the year by clicking here.
