“It is essential for Maison M.Chapoutier to take action and to support the young talents from the French Sommellerie” declared Michel Chapoutier. ” They carry and will continue to carry all over the world the beautiful values of the Wines we love. Our role is to help them progress and, at the same time, to help them satisfy a true passion.” On May 12, in the heart of Maison M. Chapoutier, semifinals will be organized with students who come from the best schools in France. In the evening, the 6 finalists, as well as the members of the jury, will taste the special menu prepared by a chef. This menu will be the major thema for the final that will take place at the Lycée Hôtelier from Tain l’Hermitage. With the parrainage of Fabrice Sommier (Sommelier at Restaurant Georges Blanc, Master of Port 2010 and Meilleur Ouvrier de France), the jury will announce the results at the end of the day. For this year, many prestigious prizes will be offered to the winners, including a week to discover Australian vineyards, a wine selection offered by Maison M.Chapoutier and Metro Cash & Carry or a gastronomy weekend offered by the 3 star Michelin Restaurant Pic in Valence.
