customers. Our aim is to answer the needs of the various export
markets with wines which are modern, easy to understand,
and adapted to meet consumers’ expectations. VIN DE FRANCE

wines; this allows our stakeholders to easily persuade new
customers to buy-in to the offer, thanks in part to the wines’
”

BEST VALUE Vin de France
Selection 2014
87 recommendations for the international retail market
For the fifth year in a row ANIVIN DE FRANCE held a blind tasting in Paris in February.
The aim of the event was to select wines in the ANIVIN DE FRANCE category worthy
of particular recommendation to the international retail market. The French Union of
Oenologists (Union des Oenologues de France, UOEF), which has extensive experience
in staging and hosting international wine competitions such as Vinalies Internationales,
was entrusted with organizing the wine selection. This cooperation with such a renowned
partner ensured a uniform procedure and ideal tasting conditions.
Our jury of international experts tasted 290 wines this year and selected 87 for
recommendation.
Visit www.vindefrance-cepages.org/en/best-value-vin-de-france for a complete list of
the selected wines.
Jury
This year’s expert jury included buyers from the international retail market. Thanks to their
perfect knowledge of the wine market, it was possible to select cuvées with the flavor
profile to match the expectations of a great number of consumers.

PANEL QUOTES
Simon Gaudreault, wine expert SAQ, Canada
“It’s a good thing that France is embracing a more commercial
attitude and a more New World-style mentality without losing the
fact that it makes some of the best wines in the world.”
Grace Cai Yingji, buyer Aussino, China
“Vin de France wines have many competitive advantages – price,
attractive packaging, the flexibility to select grapes from across
France – [all of which] make them a creative and interesting
[category].”
Christian Mewes, buyer EDEKA Struve, Germany
“Vin de France has the potential to be a playground for new wine
styles. Over the last few years I think the quality of Vin de France
wines has increased very quickly.”
Jacqueline Snoeker, buyer Ahold, Netherlands

great commercial potential.”

PANEL QUOTES
Benjamin Cahill, buyer The Co-operative, United Kingdom
“You can make a wine with character, one which is definitely
French, but with a New World twist so it is approachable. I think
producers should have the confidence to experiment and remember
what they are good at.”
Ana Sapungiu, buyer Oddbins, United Kingdom
“Vin de France is an opportunity for people doing the right things
to build a brand and be successful. And what I like about it is that it
is trying to make wine for the end consumer, not terroir driven, but
grape and style driven.”
“Vin de France wines offer great potential in terms of innovation
with different grape varieties and brands.”
Beth Willard, buyer Direct Wines, United Kingdom
“For us what’s important is finding a style that matches consumer
demand rather than specific appellations. This category fits perfectly
with our overall philosophy.”
William Schallert, buyer Young’s Market Co., USA
“Vin de France wines’ competitive advantages are quality
combined with value. Vin de France is a necessary step in the
growth and development of wines from France – it will help take
away some of the mystery surrounding French wines for new wine
consumers.”
