2017 GRENACHES DU MONDE
5th edition in Sardinia was an international success!
The fifth edition of the International Grenaches du Monde Competition, launched in 2013 by the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins du Roussillon (CIVR – Interprofessional Board of Roussillon Wines), took place this year in Sardinia on February 10, 2017, and it was a big success.
Record participation: a worldwide reputation
The International Grenaches du Monde Competition has outdone itself again.
In 2017, after being moved to Aragon, home of Campo de Borja (Denominación de Origen), in 2016, the event took place for the first time in Sardinia, thanks to a partnership with the LAORE agency for agricultural development.
The jury was made up of 100 wine professionals from 15 different countries (England, Australia, Belgium, South Korea, Spain, the United States, France, Greece, Holland, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Lithuania, and Slovenia).
A total of 684 samples (+19% compared to 2016) from 8 countries (South Africa: 1, Australia: 3, Spain: 322, France: 149, Greece: 1, Italy: 204, the Republic of Macedonia: 2, and for the first time, Lebanon: 2) competed.
The record participation numbers at the 5th edition of this event reflect the importance and renewed interest in Grenache—an iconic varietal.
3 days centered around Grenache
Sardinia hosted the International Grenaches du Monde Competition from February 9th to 1tth, 2017.
The island features 24,000 hectares of vineyards, including 7,500 hectares devoted to Grenache, locally known as “Cannonau”, especially in the region of Nuoro and its 5,700 hectares.
The Grenaches of the World event had many highlights over the three days. From tours of Sardinian vineyards (1) to interactions with the people who work them, the jury (made up of wine professionals) was able to speak with winemakers, share their experience, and taste local wines. Culture, tradition, and gastronomy were also key features of the event, with a visit to Nuoro’s ethnography museum, a meeting with Mamuthones (2), Sardinian songs sung by the polyphonic choir (3), a tour of Barumini’s Nuragic site (4), and tastings of typical Sardinian foods. Sardinia and Cannonau were at the heart of the 2017 Grenaches du Monde event.
Professional presentations on the grenache varietal
After the competition, six professional presentations were given on the origins of viticulture in Sardinia, the Grenache varietal and its typology, as well as on climate change and water management in Languedoc Roussillon. It was a wonderful occasion to share experiences.
THE 2017 WINNERS: a total of 213 medals

Grenache for all!
To close the competition’s 5th edition, the city of Cagliari hosted an Evening of Grenaches du Monde at the Manifattura Tabacchi (a former tobacco plant).
The unique evening was open to the public and offered a tour of the globe through the senses. Nearly 700 people—from the curious to enthusiasts to jury members—attended the event, where they experienced the wealth and diversity of wines made from Grenache and sampled the 684 competing wines.

2017年国际歌海娜大赛
在意大利撒丁岛举行的第五届大赛再一次享誉国际！
自2013年起，由法国露喜龙葡萄酒行业协会（全称：Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins du Roussillon，简称CIVR）开创的国际歌海娜大赛，至今已经举办了第五届。今年的大赛在2017年2月10日，于意大利的撒丁岛成功举办，再次引起国际的关注。
参赛记录刷新：一项国际性的荣誉
本届的国际歌海娜大赛再次打破了往届的记录。
2016年，大赛举办地离开了西班牙的阿拉贡，博尔哈产区（被认为是歌海娜的起源地），在与意大利Laore组织机构的合作下，2017年的大赛首次在意大利的撒丁岛举行，共同推动当地农业的发展。
本次的评委团有100位来自全球15个国家的葡萄酒专家组成，分别来自英国，澳洲，比利时，南韩，西班牙，美国，法国，希腊，荷兰，意大利，日本，黎巴嫩，立陶宛以及斯洛文尼亚。
本次参赛的葡萄酒一共有684款，与去年相比增长了19%，分别来自南非：1款，澳洲：3款，西班牙：322款，法国：149款，希腊：1款，意大利：204款，马其顿：2款，以及首次参赛的黎巴嫩：2款，共同竞逐。
3天紧密围绕歌海娜开展的赛事
本届国际歌海娜大赛自2017年2月9日至11日在撒丁岛举行。
撒丁岛拥有24,000公顷面积的葡萄园，其中7,500公顷种植歌海娜，被当地熟知为“卡诺娜”，尤其在努奥罗产区，那里有5,700公顷的葡萄园种植此品种。
本届为期三天的国际歌海娜大赛有非常多的亮点。游历撒丁岛的葡萄园（图1），与当地居民交流互动，专业评委团与当地的酿酒师交流，分享他们的经验，品尝当地的葡萄酒。文化，传统以及美食都是本次活动的关键点，评委团访问了努奥罗产区的民族博物馆，体验撒丁岛之夜（图2），聆听当地合唱团演绎撒丁岛的名曲（图3），游访Barumini巴鲁米尼的Nuragic遗址（图4），体验当地特色的美食。
毫无疑问，2017国际歌海娜大赛围绕着撒丁岛以及“卡诺娜”葡萄举行。
对歌海娜的葡萄品种的专业评述
大赛结束后，六种专业的评述介绍了葡萄种植在撒丁岛的起源，歌海娜葡萄品种及其类型，以及歌海娜在朗格多克-露喜龙地区气候变化和水资源管理。这是一个分享经验的好机会。
2017年的大赢家：一共颁发了213枚奖章
2017年2月10日星期五，在意大利阿尔盖罗的官方品鉴结束后，
