The Chablis commission of the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne (BIVB) has revealed the award winners from the 2013 annual Chablis wine competition.

Seventy-two judges made up of journalists, restaurant owners, sommeliers, oenologists and wine connoisseurs, tasted 347 Chablis wines to select the winner at the 27th annual competition.

The judging took place in two flights. All tasters judged all 347 Chablis wines which represented 91 different maisons. Those that received the best grades went on to a second judging by a "super jury" who then awarded the medals.

Judges awarded a total of 22 medals to wines that will become the Chablis Wine Ambassadors of the BIVB in the UK and abroad for 2013.

Chair and head sommelier at Alain Ducasse Entreprise, Gérard Margeon, said: "Chablis is a highly respected wine and is recognised throughout the world as one of the greatest white wines.

"The wines tasted for the competition were truly outstanding and on many occasions, although some wines did not receive a medal, they deserved to be recognised as a very high-quality wine."

Françoise Roure, marketing communications Manager at BIVB, said she looks forward to sharing the medal winning wines with the UK and hopes to incorporate them into activities taking place such as its Chablis trade masterclasses.
