Mme Francoise Feuillat-Juillot & Concours Feminalise.

I had the wonderful opportunity to be part of the jury at the Feminalise Wine Awards 2017. The Feminalise World Wine Awards has place each year in Beaune, France close to all the exclusively Burgundy vineyards. On April 6th we were reunited almost 850 women for tasting around 4,550 international wines. I can't describe the excitement that I felt when I saw all those women from all around the world and we were all reunited just for one reason : “the passion of wine”.
It was awesome to share a tasting table with women from Japan and Italy, after I met women winemakers from Germany and France and I couldn't be more happy to share our experiences and thoughts about wine. The organization the day of the event was perfect, I made a blind-tasting of around 42 wines and I have a nice memory about the high quality of each one. I would like to share some statistics that I found in feminalise website about the relationship between women and wine. So interesting!
  • 70% of wine purchases are made by women
  • 1/4 of oenologists from all over the world are women
  • 56% of wine purchases made by women are triggered by the sight of a medal on the bottle
  • 80% of women drink wine for its taste
  • 4000 wines on average were tasted during last competitions
  • 700 wine tasters during last competitions
At the next day I have the pleasure to visit in Burgundy an important women winemaker Mrs. Francoise Feuillat-Juillot at the Feuillat-Juillot Domain, apellation Montagny-les-Buxy. She welcomed us with a perfect view directly on her vinyards and with a nice tasting of her production. All of her wines are really attractive but I decided to chose Camille. Camille is the daughter of Mrs. Feuillat-Juillot and she named her youngest wine (just 5 years vignes) with her daughters name.

Camille - Montagny
100% Chardonnay
Domaine Feuillat-Juillot

Picture
"Montagny is the most southern appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise. His soils constitute a perfect terroir to grow the Chardonnay grape. The vineyard is located on the sloping hillsides of Bajocien, going from 250 to 400 meters of altitude. The limestone-marl soils made of lias and trias constitute a perfect terroir to grow the Chardonnay grape. Also the exposure is bene c for the vines that are oriented to the South-East.
The vineyard is conducted through « sustainable agriculture ». A special care is brought to the mechanic work of the soil which allows the plant to express the potential of its terroir. The crop is exclusively hand-picked and the winemaking is adapted to every “cuvée”. The quality of the fruit is preserved."
