Understanding medals and distinctions
What is an award-winning wine?
It is a wine that has received a distinction in a competition or a guide: a gold, silver or bronze medal in a competition, a star or a "coup de cœur" in a guide such as the Guide Hachette des Vins. The distinction applies to one specific vintage, not to the wine in general.
What is a competition medal worth?
In France, a competition whose medals may appear on the label cannot award more than a third of the wines entered. A medal therefore marks a wine that a tasting panel placed near the top of its category, for a given vintage.
What do the Guide Hachette stars mean?
Each year the Guide Hachette des Vins selects wines after blind tasting. A listed wine ("vin cité") is part of that selection; one star marks a very successful wine, two stars a remarkable wine, three stars an exceptional wine. The "coup de cœur" singles out the panel’s favourites.
Why does each medal carry a vintage?
Because a medal rewards one specific year. On this page, a distinction won by the bottle on sale is shown as such; the others carry the vintage that won them. A medal won by an older vintage speaks to the estate’s consistency, not to the score of the current vintage.
What are the estate’s highest distinctions?
Two stars in the Guide Hachette des Vins 2014 for the rosé, 2012 vintage, the best rating the estate has ever received. And gold medals: Concours International de Lyon 2022 for Prêt en Bulles 2020, Féminalise 2021 for the Cuvée Tradition 2020, Vignerons Indépendants 2018 for La Tour, 2015 vintage.
