29 winners at the Chablis Wine Competition
The Chablis Wine Competition was organized according to strict social distancing measures but nonetheless selected 29 worthy winners.
The 36th edition of the Chablis Wine Competition took place on Saturday 15 January. This year’s event was, however, restricted in terms of attendees.
This competition is organized by the Office du Chablis in partnership with the Bourgogne Wine Board (BIVB). It recognizes the best wines from the area which then go on to become ambassadors for the Chablis region at events in France and abroad.
The wines are evaluated by a diverse jury comprising journalists, restaurateurs, sommeliers, traders, oenologists, winegrowers, and wine lovers. The wines go through two rounds of tasting and those that score highest on the first round, when they are sampled by the entire jury, are then put before a “super” jury, which selects the medal winners.
For the 36th edition, presided over by journalist Guillaume Baroin, the winning wines were selected from some 262 samples submitted.
Canada: The “Les Grandes Retrouvailles” event will run on 20 June in Montreal.
Bourgogne wine producers and trade representatives will be able to meet in a cozy environment to foster fruitful business exchanges.
The event involves 4.5 hours of tastings where participants can meet and greet producers. There will also be special areas dedicated to Bourgogne and Chablis wines along with themed tables for Crémant de Bourgogne, lesser-known Village appellations, and the Climats of the Bourgogne winegrowing region.

UK: This event, which had been scheduled to run in March, will now take place on 7 June in London. It will provide a chance for trade representatives to connect with Bourgogne winegrowers over the space of a day’s tastings and to discover wines with an exceptional quality-price-pleasure ratio.

A new video format dedicated to Chablis wines is now available.
Straight Chablis is a new series of videos in English that have been designed to offer an in-depth exploration of a range of subjects. They feature themes such as the difference between the Chablis and Petit Chablis appellations, the different Climats in Chablis Grand Cru, and the different vintages in the region.
These videos have been developed in partnership with SommCom and take the form of a discussion between two experts over a wine tasting. They provide a great opportunity for English-speaking trade and Chablis wine representatives to exchange on some very specific topics.
