Hungarian success at one of the most prestigious international wine competitions
Change language:
Recently, the 28th annual Chardonnay du Monde® wine competition was held, and Hungary has achieved quite good results in the international competition, which is very good news for the international assessment of Hungarian viticulture.
This is particularly good for the prestige of Hungarian wineries as the Chardonnay du Monde® international wine competition is considered to be one of the strictest wine competitions of its kind.
“Chardonnay du Monde® has progressively distinguished itself from other international competitions thanks to quality standards that are much stricter than the norm and by remaining faithful to its founding principles, which have driven its success over the years: diversity, quality and high standards,” – says the official press release of the competition.
In total, 36 countries have competed against each other with a wide range of 604 unique Chardonnay wines. The competition lasted three days, within which period the 200 international expert judges awarded only 196 of the participants.
The judges gave out 51 gold medals and 145 silver medals. Luckily, or rather thanks to the devotion and hard work, Hungary has managed to achieve one gold medal and eight silver medals.
