The General Agricultural Competition
 

The General Agricultural Competition, organized by the State, rewards French agricultural excellence: wines, local products, animals, etc. All wines participating in the competition are randomly sampled by an agent of the Chamber of Agriculture (or mandated by it) from the commercial stock or directly from the barrel. The wines are then anonymised for pre-selection and the final.  The samples are submitted for assessment by jurors having high levels of technical expertise, the wines are then tasted to detect the characteristic aromas, to note the qualities and the characteristics in the same category.
