Grenache: one big family

Grenaches du Monde

Created in 2013 by the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins du Roussillon (CIVR) in Perpignan, Grenaches du Monde has become a travelling competition, with its first edition relocated to Aragon (Campo de Borja in 2016), then to Sardinia (2017) and Catalonia (Terra Alta, 2018). The Competition returned to Perpignan in 2019, and the following year set off again for Montpellier in partnership with Vins de Pays d'Oc, the world's leading producer of rosé Grenache wines. In 2021, the Competition split into 4 tastings in 4 Grenache capitals: Cebreros in Spain, Châteauneuf du Pape and Perpignan in France, and Ascoli Piceno in Italy. In 2022, the competition visited Navarre before taking on the challenge of a first edition outside Europe, in New York in June 2023. In 2024, Paris, the Olympic city, took its turn to host the great Grenache tournament, and in 2025 the competition will return to Aragon, and more precisely to Cariñena, European City of Wine 2025.

Grenache wines taking centre stage - this is an initiative everyone has been waiting for! It is a celebration of diversity, the cornerstone of southern vineyards that lends itself to many different interpretations ... Each vineyard presents its Grenache as a heritage to interpret.
