They are tasted solely by specialists in sensorial analysis: professionals from the wine sector (oenologists, journalists, knowledgeable consumers, etc.)
They are grouped in grape variety and/or origin categories. They are blind tasted and judged on 100 points on an evaluation grid jointly drawn up by the International Vine and Wine Organisation and the International Union of Oenologists.
The final mark is an average awarded by the 5 tasters who tasted the sample (2 French tasters – including an oenologist President – and 3 foreign tasters).
Based on this average mark, the sample is awarded a Vinalies Grand Or, a Vinalies® d'Or, a Vinalies® d'Argent medal, or does not receive a medal.
