Grand Jury Europeen is the famous jury, whose president is Francois Mauss and whose members are authoritative wine masters coming from 13 different countries, which judges the great wines from all over the world; its prestige, worldwide acknowledged, is given by the reputation of the single members and by the severe and extremely tough rules of its tastings.

In December 2006 the Grand Jury Europeen decided to organise a session of 4 days in Piedmont with a unusual and exacting theme: to compare 50 Grand Crus and Premier Crus from Bourgogne with 60 Barolos, all from the same vintage 1999.

Regarding Barolo, it was really prestigious for this wines to be compared with wines, which have an great reputation and extraordinary history and reach the top position by international auctions.

The results of this tasting, released in January, gave impressive and astonishing rankings for Barolos: 7 of the first 10 wines are Barolos and 3 are Bourgogne.

We are really enthusiastic for the great appreciation given to Barolo and extremely proud of the fact that in this Olympus is also present our BAROLO TRIUMVIRATUM 1999, which had 93,45/100 points.
