Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2014 (w/ English subs)
- il y a 10 ans
Authors: Frédéric Galtier, Grégoire Ozan, Óscar Corrons.
After several years spent travelling from one wine capital to another, the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles this year returned to Brussels to celebrate its 20th anniversary. A total 8,060 wines from 41 producer countries competed in Brussels (Belgium) on May 2, 3 and 4, before a hand-picked selection of the world’s foremost tasters. Sommeliers, wine buyers, importers, journalists and wine writers – in all 310 wine tasters representing 40 nationalities – gathered for 3 days to judge this year’s entries. The diverse range both of entries and backgrounds of the tasters themselves is one of the archetypal features of a competition that in just a few years has emerged as a world wine ‘tasting championship’
