The competition is open to all Loire Valley wines produced or marketed by winegrowers, cooperative cellars and merchants, whether they are exhibitors or not.
This year, the contest put in competition 2557 wines from a great variety of terroirs and appellations from all along the Loire river from Nantes to Clermont Ferrand.
The awards (Gold, Silver, and Bronze Ligers) are granted by Juries made up of professionals and enlightened amateurs and chaired by an oenologist, according to a rigorous tasting protocol. 240 jury members evaluated the wines in strict compliance with barrier gestures.
Gold, silver or bronze, each award-winning wine has been awarded a medal stamped "ligers". This is a significant distinction that is easily identifiable by the general public, a guarantee of quality and controlled discovery.
A real showcase for Loire Valley wines, the panel has surprised with its diversity, authenticity and quality, all appellations combined to obtain a magnificent prize list.
