28th Concours des Vins de Chablis - 10% of the wines receive a medal
The Chablis commission of the Bourgogne Wine Board (BIVB) and the Office de Chablis have released the
names of the winners for this year’s annual Concours des Vins de Chablis.
For the 28th year of this competition, on Saturday, January 11th 2013, 87 judges consisting of journalists,
restaurant owners, sommeliers, oenologists and wine amateurs, tasted 270 samples. Among them, 27 were
selected.
The tasting took place in two steps. First, all 87 tasters judged all 270 Chablis wines, and then those that
received the best grades went on to a second tasting by a “Super jury”, who decided on the final winners.
Out of the 270 Chablis wines tasted, representing a total of 58 wineries and merchants, the judges awarded
a total of 27 medals. The winners will be the Chablis Wine Ambassadors of the BIVB for the year to come –
2014.
This year’s competition was chaired by the food and wine journalist Egmont Labadie, who commented on
the quality of the wines that were presented: “The Premier Crus 2012 that we tasted were very harmonious
overall. Regarding the Grand Crus 2011, however, it was necessary to discuss each wine individually, bottle
by bottle, in order to decide which ones received a medal.”
The results are in the following pages.
Since his childhood spent in the South West of France at the heart of
the appellation Buzet, Egmont Labadie has been sharing his passion for
local products, always combining wines, peach trees, fields of green
beans, strawberries, tomatoes, asparagus, duck confit and frying pans
full of cep! After studying Sciences Po and spending two years in
Germany, he came back to France and specialized in economic
reporting. He quickly switched to his passion - wine and food. He has
worked for several media: Cuisine et Terroirs, Fleurus, Terre de Vins,
Vitisphère, Gault & Millau, and an international website dedicated to art
and the art of living, Blouin Artinfo. He is the author of two guides to
wine bars, one of them being focused exclusively on Parisian wine bars – Les Zinzins du Vin. He also
contributed to several collective works such as the Grand Larousse du Vin. Being an amateur of Chablis
wines, he discovered them very early in his career thanks to a friend from the region. He immediately
appreciated the unique quality of the wines and local wine-growing culture. He feels that Chablis wine
producers know how to produce high quality wine with excellent value.
