The results of the prestigious Paris Wine Cup 2023 are now out!

The Paris Wine Cup aims to recognize, reward, and promote wine brands that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific wine drinker. For any wine brand to earn its place on a retailer’s shelf or a restaurant’s wine list -  and then vitally stay there - they need to be marketable and consumer-driven and not just produced in the general hope it can find enough people willing to sell and buy it.

The Paris Wine Cup is awarded based on the following judging formula:

Q (Quality Score) + Value Score (V) + Package Score (P) = Paris Wine Cup Score.

Alongside the gold, silver, and bronze medals, winning brands can also win titles like Wine of the Year, Winery of the Year, Best Wine in Show by Country, and Best Wine in Show by Varietal. 

However, the 3 important pillars of the competition remain much sought after. This year, 

Wine of The Year by Quality 2023 was won by

2022 Chateau Auguste Grand Rose by Vignobles Sullivan, France.

At a whopping 93 points and a Gold Medal, here’s what the judges had to say: 

Citrus aromas and white fruit, balanced with nice minerality
