Organized since 1954 by the Comit\u00e9 des Vins et Salons de M\u00e2con (Burgundy), the Concours des Grands Vins de France has become a must for the tasting and rating of quality wines. In 1989, the Concours was recorded in the Guinness Book of records as the biggest wine tasting event in the world, with 10520 samples. Since then, the level of 11000 samples tasted has been crossed. http:\/\/www.concours-salons-vins-macon.com\/<\/a> ) <\/p>\n\n

The Acad\u00e9mie du Cep had for a long time been in contact with Bernard DELHAYE, the president of the Concours des Grands Vins de France. They had organized together last 12 March a tasting of wines originating from most of the French wine regions at the Ecole H\u00f4teli\u00e8re de Gen\u00e8ve. On this occasion, Bernard DELHAYE had been inducted Ecuyer d’Honneur of the Acad\u00e9mie du Cep. More than just their geographic proximity, it is the shared love of vine and wine which presides over the relation between the two organizations. A delegation from the Acad\u00e9mie went to Sa\u00f4ne-et-Loire to take part in the Concours des Grands Vins de France of M\u00e2con on 18 and 19 April 2015. <\/p>\n\n

The previous day, a delegation from the St Vincent Brotherhood of the M\u00e2con Vinsters, chaired by Bernard BENAS, inducted as Knight Jacques JEANNERAT, the newly elected Grand Ma\u00eetre of the Acad\u00e9mie du Cep for his first visit abroad ( see Acad\u00e9mie du Cep<\/a> ). Jacques LEGROS, guest of honour of the Concours des Grands Vins de France and news anchor at TF1 (one of the major French TV channels), as well as Didier DUQUESNOY, cellar master at Frontignan (H\u00e9rault France), were also inducted.<\/p>\n\n

The next day 18 April as early as 08 :00, the delegation of the Acad\u00e9mie du Cep joined the some 2000 tasters of the 2015 edition of the Concours des Grands Vins de France to rate more than 9000 wines in barely three hours.<\/p>\n\n
