The tasting judges, recognized for their experience and international capacity as tasters, evaluated the participating samples strictly blindly, according to the rules established by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.
More than a blind tasting
The México Selection by CMB, presented by Audi, is much more than a blind tasting. Its main objective is to encourage dialogue and generate a meeting point for the architects of the national wine and spirits industry; as well as to create a reliable seal of quality for consumers, provide producers with a promotional tool recognized by the industry and the general public, and promote the host region as well as the organization’s local partners.
The evaluation of all participating products follows a rigorous tasting methodology, where absolute anonymity is the fundamental principle. Tastings are carried out strictly blindly and the judges never see the sample bottles before or during the tasting. This allows the products to be evaluated according to their quality, awarding medals to the best exponents regardless of their origin, price, bottle or label.
Likewise, the México Selection by CMB, presented by Audi, guarantees the diversity of the judges on the evaluation panel every year, always seeking to integrate a multidisciplinary team made up of wine experts, journalists, oenologists, sommeliers, buyers, distillers and representatives of the media, all dedicated to the world of wine and spirits worldwide.
The two factors mentioned above, combined with a rigorous system that verifies the control documents of each of the products entered, guarantee the total independence of the results; in addition, the México Selection by CMB, presented by Audi, always respects the right to award a maximum of 30% of medals to the participating products.
