Grand Jury Du Vin

Introducing Le Grand Jury Du Vin: Celebrating Viniculture Excellence

Origins and Mission of the Grand Jury

Founded in 1996 by François Mauss, Le Grand Jury Européen is a prestigious organization dedicated to recognizing and showcasing the finest wines from around the world. Its mission is to promote the culture of viticulture, encourage innovation, and foster exchange between winemakers and consumers.

The Challenge International du Vin: A Renowned Competition

The Grand Jury hosts the renowned Challenge International du Vin, now in its 48th edition. This prestigious competition invites winemakers from various regions to submit their creations for evaluation by a panel of qualified tasters. The event is held blind, ensuring impartiality and objectivity in the selection process. Le Grand jury européen GJE, a non-profit organization registered as an ASBL under Luxembourg law, organizes the competition with the utmost rigor and integrity.

Each wine is meticulously assessed based on its appearance, aroma, flavor profile, balance, and overall quality. The competition serves as a benchmark for the industry, helping consumers identify exceptional wines and producers.
