IWSC History
When the original Club Oenologique was launched in 1969, its founder, the wine chemist Anton Massel, could scarcely have imagined the impact that his initiative would have on today’s wine and spirit industry, nor the far-reaching commercial implications for those who find themselves rewarded for their excellence. He had the idea of creating a competition which was based not just on organoleptic judgement, but where all entries also had to undergo chemical analysis.
In 1978 the name of the venture was changed to the International Wine and Spirit Competition and, within a short space of time, the disciplines of the Competition were redefined. A set of technical controls was implemented in order to ensure that the highest quality standards were achieved and maintained year after year. The original aim of the IWSC was to award excellence to wines and spirits worldwide. This remains the aim today, encouraging consumer and trade recognition for quality products.
Jancis Robinson has been writing about wine since 1975 and is responsible for some of the most respected books on wine. She is wine correspondent of the Financial Times, the first non-trade Master of Wine and OBE. The Villebois Wines 2010 have been reviewed by her with impressive results.
Petit Villebois: "Very light, dry nose and no excess sweetness"
Villebois Sauvignon Blanc from the vineyards south of Blois on the banks of the Cher, "obviously expressive, really racy and lively; good balance.GV. Appetising".
Villebois Brut NV Crémant de Loire: "very clean and fresh. Aged and really very clean- just slightly chewy.Nice clean packaging".
"De wijnmakers van Villebois geven een moderne wending aan de oogst, waardoor deze vooral bij de liefhebber van Nieuw-Zeelandse sauvignon blanc in de smaak zal vallen. Stuivend, enigszins exotisch, sappige rondingen, lekker wat kruisbessen en met voldoende ‘staal’ om de smaakpapillen af en toe nog een flinke tik te geven."
