Concours International des Cabernets 2015
Cabernet is the most widely grown grape variety in the world. It is actually better to talk about cabernets in the plural, because there are many different types. The most well-known are the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, but there are others including the Cabernet Dorio, Cabernet Moravia, etc. There is even a Cabernet Blanc (see the cabernets page).
The objective of the International Competition of Cabernets is to compare these wines and award the best cabernets in the world.
The Union de la Sommellerie Française (UDSF) is partnering the competition. This organisation brings together nearly 1200 sommeliers and selects the best Sommelier of France, amongst other awards.
Their expertise and their perfect knowledge of consumer tastes is a further guarantee of the quality of the wine selection. The results of the selection are communicated to USDF members after the event.
The competition is run by Armonia, which also organises the prestigious Lyon International Competition, the International Gamay Competition (with Inter Beaujolais) and the ‘Un vin presque parfait’ with M6 television. Armonia is ISO 9001 certified and monitored by an external auditor.
The company follows quality procedures in order to guarantee precise technical management for producers and rigorous selection for the consumers.
