Meticulous organization of tasting

The very strict tasting rules require the jurors to be unfailingly impartial in their judgment. The tasters will be required not only to taste but also to describe and comment on the wines according to the following criteria:

• The visual aspect,
• The olfactive aspect,
• The impression on the palate,
• The overall impression,
• The particular uniqueness and character of the product.
