Trofeo del Mejor Gamay del Mundo

Winning the 2025 World's Best Gamay Trophy was a wonderful way of acknowledging our work and terroir. This award sparked off a real frenzy of activity: press coverage, regional events, local honours, etc. all of which gave our domain unprecedented visibility. It has helped attract many visitors, showcase our entire range of wines and fill our guest rooms until 2026! Quite apart from the commercial impact, this trophy has put our village and our appellation in the spotlight, giving us new momentum, renewed pride and the desire to continue sharing our passion with enthusiasm.

Fue una gran sorpresa ver que ganamos un trofeo. Es cierto que ya hemos participado al concurso y ganado medallas, pero soñábamos con el trofeo. Haberlo ganado este año es una verdadera recompensa y una gran motivación. También una manera de valorizar nuestro trabajo. En seguida después de la publicación del anuncio, observamos un flujo de demandas de reservas por parte de nuestros clientes. Además, algo que es totalmente nuevo para nosotros, la prensa nos contactó en repetidas ocasiones durante varias semanas. Este título es importante para nosotros porque es una garantía para nuestros clientes sobre la calidad de los vinos que producimos.

Romain Chanrion - Domaine Nicole et Romain Chanrion - 2023 award-winner
The reputation of winning this trophy was instantaneous and travelled across borders faster than our own communications! It was overwhelming!
Thanks to the trophy’s intense media coverage, we saw an immediate impact on our local customers, which was also very positive for publicising the succession of mother to son that took place in-house.
We used this award to raise the profile of our entire estate and all our cuvées. The light it has shed on us has really showcased our brand and helped us get new customers.

Nicolas Boudeau - Domaine Nicolas Boudeau - 2022 award-winner
The trophy provides unprecedented media coverage and better ranking in search engines. So now customers come to visit our wine cellar every day, even at harvesttime!
The award has increased sales to both professionals and private individuals, and strengthened customer loyalty. This is clear to see in my order book--orders for primeur wines have come in quite quickly.
Highlighting the estate has made the awarded wine better known and increased its price, and the fame and added value have trickled down to other estate wines as well.
The Trophy has really put Brouilly wine, its terroir and the villages where it is grown in the limelight!

David Béroujon - Domaine Béroujon David - 2021 award-winner
Winning the Trophy... is simply magical!
And the impact has been fabulous. I am astounded.
For example, there were so many people at our Open House! Visitors from Perpignan, the Savoie department and even Switzerland came here to discover our Beaujolais-Villages 2020, which was chosen as the World’s Best Gamay.
Thanks to the Trophy, I have expanded my client base and won new export contracts, in Switzerland and Sweden for example.
Great chefs have also contacted me and come to visit the Domain: people from the Georges Blanc company, Guy Lassausaie, and Cyril Lignac and his sommelier.
Sales have really increased, despite a higher price.
Writers for gourmet magazines continue to call me, and the Trophy has contributed to the renown of the Beaujolais-Villages designation in general!
I wish everyone could win the trophy... it is a magical, marvellous experience. Just thinking about it still gives me goosebumps.

Grégory Large - Maison Mommessin - 2020 award-winner
"Press reviews have been quite positive, both for the Saint-Amour 2018 that took the trophy, and for Maison Mommessin!
The Trophy is an important communications tool, and can also be used for prospection. We have won many new clients in France, particularly via ‘traditional’ networks, in restaurants and through wine merchants. We have also managed to place the World’s Best Gamay with clients who usually prefer other references.
On the export market, the award has allowed us to set up operations to showcase Maison Mommessin and the World’s Best Gamay on several markets.
We are proud to have won the Trophy for the Concours International du Gamay, a competition of such seriousness and quality that it is considered one of the best in France!"

Franck Chavy - Domaine Franck Chavy - 2019 award-winner
“The Concours International du Gamay medal is surely the most difficult to obtain. The wines presented are quite exceptional, so the level of the competition is very high. That’s what makes the Best of Gold medal and the World’s Best Gamay Trophy so valuable, and why amateur wine lovers, wine professionals and journalists anxiously await the results each year.
Winning the Trophy of course resulted in a very good sales year, but for us the best part of the wine business is people. Because we won the Trophy, many wine lovers came to taste the award-winning wine and meet the wine producer. This put us in contact with some truly great people to whom we were able to introduce the rest of the line and present the many nuances of Gamay.”

Carine Jambon - Domaine de Thulon – Galardonado de 2018
"En cuanto recibimos el Trofeo, recibimos muchas llamadas internacionales, se nota que hay una verdadera mediatización del trofeo en el extranjero.
Nuestros clientes profesionales y particulares se pusieron muy contentos por nosotros y se sintieron orgullosos por haber seleccionado el vino antes de que gane el Trofeo del Mejor Gamay del Mundo.
Esta recompensa nos ha permitido aumentar nuestra notoriedad y fidelizar a nuestros clientes. El trofeo es muy conocido en la región y nos impresionó porque a nivel local nos hablaron de la recompensa y nos felicitaron durante todo el año."

Patrick Pechard - Propiedad Tano Pechard - Galardonado de 2017
"Nuestra cosecha Canicule 2014 se ha vendido en 6 meses, tres veces más rápido que de costumbre. Hemos recibido muchas vistas de nuevos clientes en la propiedad, por lo que pudimos hacer descubrir el resto de nuestra gama. Los restaurantes también estuvieron interesados por nuestros vinos, sin que hayamos tenido que proponérselos.
Esta recompensa también nos abrió las puertas de la gran exportación, hacia Asia, con la realización de nuestra primera expedición al extranjero y que estamos seguros, no será la última.
Desde que ganamos este trofeo, hemos recibido muchos mensajes positivos de la parte de nuestros clientes para felicitarnos"

Emmanuel Jambon – Propiedad Maisons Neuves – Galardonado en 2016
"Cuando mi hermano y yo ganamos el Trofeo el año pasado, se valorizaron todas nuestras cosechas y multiplicamos nuestras ventas por dos, ¡vendimos casi instantáneamente toda nuestra producción de Chiroubles! La profesión comunica mucho sobre este concurso, por lo que pudimos obtener muchos contactos en Francia y para la exportación."

Lucie Jullian – Propiedad Prapin – Galardonado en 2015
"Después de haber ganado el Trofeo del Mejor Gamay del Mundo, nuestro volumen de negocios aumentó de un 70% durante varios meses. Por supuesto que además observamos un verdadero entusiasmo por parte de los consumidores y también de los profesionales del sector, tanto de bodegueros como de restaurantes. Este Trofeo benefició a toda la DOP Coteaux du Lyonnais, además de ser un buen reconocimiento para el sello ecológico francés AB."
