20th Mondial des Pinots: the big winner in 2017 is from Graubünden!

The international scope of the competition is once again apparent, with nearly 1,300 wines from 25 countries registered. Six Great Gold medals, a record, were awarded the 31 of august within the grounds of the splendid Château Mercier in Sierre. They were given to four Swiss wines, a New Zealand wine and one from Germany. An indication of the clear success of Swiss Pinot Noir wines: they carried away more than two-thirds of the gold medals.

The day before the opening of the Swiss Wine Fair, after the award ceremony of the Mondial des Pinots, 31 producers attended the first edition of the Festival des Award-Winning Pinots where they poured their medal-winning wines. More than 300 fans of this grape variety attended the event which, given its success, will be held again in 2018.
