Press Release
Marc Ragaine, President of the 29th Chablis Wines Competition
Marc Ragaine, sommelier and proprietor of the “Les Agapes” wine store in Auxerre, was president of the 29th edition of the Chablis Wine Competition, held in Chablis on 17 January 2015. Ragaine was named third best young sommelier in France before being awarded the title of Best Independent Wine Store in the World in 2003.
The Chablis Wines Competition is different because those presenting the wines are not allowed to be part of the judging panel. The panel of 81 tasters is made up of journalists, restaurateurs, sommeliers, wine traders, oenologists and skilled wine lovers. They judge the wines in two phases. Firstly, there is a pre-selection session, where the wines are tasted by the entire jury. Those with the highest scores then go through to a second session where they are ranked again by a “super jury” which awards the medals.
The winning wines are used by the BIVB during promotions and training sessions in France and abroad, thus becoming ambassadors for Chablis wines for one year.
The results are in the following pages.
