LanceLaunch of the 1st edition of the Cabernets International Competition!

The first edition of the Cabernets International Competition - CIDC will takes place in Paris on Monday 16 June 2014. This competition is organized in partnership with the Union de la Sommellerie Française (A gathering of some best French sommeliers), and will reward the best Cabernets in the world.

The Cabernets
The Cabernets International Competition is the first one to highlight this grape variety. There are many cabernets: the most well-known are the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, but there are many others in the world, including Cabernet Dorsa, Cabernet Dorio, Cabernet Moravia and Cabernet Blanc. These grape varieties have a special feature: they can match with others Cabernets, or with some very different grape varieties. The global production of Cabernets represents more than 210 000 hectares.

L’Union de la Sommellerie Française
The Union de la Sommellerie Française (UDSF) is partnering the competition. This organisation brings together nearly 1200 sommeliers and selects the best Sommelier of France, amongst other awards. Their expertise and their perfect knowledge of consumer tastes is a further guarantee of the quality of the wine selection. The results of the selection are communicated to USDF members after the event.
