The wine session of the Concours International de Lyon: wines judged blind on a 100-point grid based on the OIV model, with Gold and Silver medals.
The Concours International de Lyon is an international competition for wines, beers, spirits, alcohol-free drinks, cheese and charcuterie, organised by Armonia. The wine session of the 2027 edition is judged on 15 and 16 March 2027 in Lyon.
The competition appears on the official list recognised by the French authorities (DGCCRF), so its medals can be shown on labels. The 2026 wine session received about 7,370 samples, judged by about 1,000 tasters, and awarded 68 trophies and about 2,377 Gold and Silver medals. The honorary presidents of the 2027 edition are Jérémie Crauser and Marc Janin.
Blind judging: each wine is scored on a 100-point grid based on the OIV model.
Gold and Silver medals: awarded to the best-scoring wines and usable on labels.
Trophies by country: a trophy for the best product of each country in each category.
Sommeliers' Prize: the Trophée de la Sommellerie funds a study trip to a European wine region for a pair of sommellerie students.
Still, sparkling and sweet wines from France and abroad, entered by producers, cooperatives and merchants. The 2026 wine session received about 7,370 samples; the 2027 results will be published by the organiser after the judging.
