Concours International de LYON
Created in 2009, with a first edition in 2010, the Lyon International Competition is clearly a success: the number of wines presented in all categories (reds, rosés, white wines, still wines, liqueurs and sparkling wines) has increased by 25% each year.
In 2014, a total of 3700 wines were blind tasted by 500 oenologists, sommeliers, restaurant owners, wine producers and enlightened amateurs and given a grade out of 100. In 2014, 528 gold medals and 647 silver medals were awarded.
Now in 2015, the competition has taken another important step forward in opening its doors to beers, spirits and aperitifs.
