Blind tasting panels

The Guide Hachette uses blind tasting panels to evaluate wines by appellation. Each year 40,000 wines are tasted blind and rated by experts.

No fee is required to submit samples. Only the most recently bottled vintage is allowed to be submitted for blind tasting.

Wine tastings are organized locally in each region between January and May. Blind tasting sessions composed of a panel wine professionals (enologists, wine merchants, wine brokers, sommeliers) are organized with the Syndicat Viticole or Winegrower's Syndicate of each appellation present in the guide.

Rating system

Each wine is rated on a scale of 0 to 5.

Taster's grade Wine Quality Final Wine Rating
0 Faulty wine Eliminated
1 Poor or mediocre Eliminated
2 Good Commended (no stars)
3 Excellent *
4 Remarkable **
5 Exceptional ***

The top rated wines are subject to a second round of blind tasting. After the second tasting, the panel votes on one or two wines to receive Coup de Coeur . The Coup de Coeur is considered to be the highest recommendation.
