The Bourgogne Wine Board (BIVB)’s Cave de Prestige offers a rigorous selection of wines. These wines become the region’s ambassadors for the period of one year, offered during promotional and educational activities organized by the BIVB, in France and abroad. This year, the President of the BIVB hailed the ever-increasing quality of the selection.
• An edition that counts!
The 2019 edition is one of the most select, with just over 12% of the submissions being chosen, making a total of 190 wines. Almost every one of the 84 Bourgogne appellations is represented, from Régionale wines to Grand Crus.
This year, 1,528 samples were submitted for tasting, from vintages between 2015 and 2018. This represents a rise of 34% compared to 2018 and is perhaps not surprising given the very fine 2017 vintage, from which 66% of submissions hailed. The 2017 vintage was more generous than 2016 for the majority of Bourgogne appellations, and 2018 looks to be more promising still.
To make up the Cave de Prestige, the BIVB purchases the selected wines. In 2019, around 14,500 bottles will be acquired.
These wines will be offered for tasting at events organized by the BIVB throughout the year.
