The Ruinart Sommelier Challenge 2024

The one-day event will start with a 40 minute-written blind tasting of 4 wines from any region in the world – still or sparkling. The evaluation is based on their description, pairing, and serving temperature suggestions. It will be followed by a lunch. The day will end with a masterclass led by Frédéric Panaïotis, Chef de Caves of Maison Ruinart. 

Created in 2010 and held in 20 cities around the world, the Ruinart Sommelier Challenge is a program that aims to unite talented sommeliers with excellence values who wish to continue their training in wine and winemaking. 

The year after their victories, the winners of each national edition participate in a 4-day training session in the Champagne region.
