Le Grand Tasting Paris: the big event for wine lovers
On November 29 and 30, 2024, Le Grand Tasting Paris will return to the Carrousel du Louvre for its 19th edition. This not-to-be-missed event, organized by Bettane+Desseauve, will bring together leading French and international producers, as well as nuggets unearthed by Bettane+Desseauve experts.
“Wine was missing a festival like the ones that exist for cinema and music. This desire to showcase the best of wine, its great names and emerging talents, around tastings but also events, led Michel Bettane and me to launch Le Grand Tasting.” Explains Thierry Desseauve, co-founder of the organizing company. Since its inception, Le Grand Tasting Paris has been dedicated to promoting the very best in wine. This 19ᵉ edition brings together over 250 producers and 1,200 wines meticulously selected by Bettane+Desseauve’s team of seasoned tasters. An incredible chance to taste great vintages and discover new winemakers.
The genius of wine
Bettane+Desseauve disseminates its idea of wine, “the genius of wine”, through a double reading grid: expert tasting and a journalistic vision. In this way, Bettane+Desseauve puts the spotlight on the men and women who make wine, and gives consumers the best possible guidance. In fact, the show features several themed itineraries. The booklet provides excellent visibility of the stands, making it easy to find your way around.
For the more inquisitive, the seasoned connoisseur or the neophyte in search of knowledge, masterclasses are hosted by the winemakers themselves. On a chosen subject (from among the 25 on offer), you’ll enjoy a guided tasting with commentary. An experience to be had at least once during your visit to the Carrousel du Louvre!
Don’t leave without your Grand Tasting souvenir! In addition to the events branch, Bettane+Desseauve offers multimedia content, superbly directed by Louis-Victor Charvet. You’ll find the New Bettane+Desseauve Guide, no more and no less than a Bible of references, and En Magnum magazine, a collectible quarterly. In the meantime? Subscribe to our newsletter and you won’t miss En Magnum+, the monthly digital magazine in collaboration with Guide Lebey.
