Presentation of "Les Grands Concours"

The ambition of Les Grands Concours du monde is to foster the promotion of grape varieties throughout the world, to give producers the opportunity to present their best wines and to offer consumers the unassailable credibility of concrete results with the guarantee of the competence of professional international tasters (oenologists, wine waiters, celebrities from the wine world, cellar men, wine merchants, specialist journalists, etc.)

Following the procedures in 2010 to call on the patronage of the OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine), the 3 international wine competitions have been controlled and the OIV has decided to give its prestigious patronage to Strasbourg Evénements!

Portrait of a grape variety

Pinot Gris, originally from Burgundy and cultivated primarily in Alsace, is a member of the family of very powerful and expressive wines, which makes it one of the most valued grape varieties internationally. It enjoys considerable success in America, Australia and South Africa while continuing to maintain its market share in Europe.

In France, the Pinot Gris grape variety is still enjoying considerable development, thanks in particular to its production in Alsace, which represents 13% of total Alsatian planting.
