Gault&Millau launched the first edition of their guide dedicated to Romanian wine. The 2019 Gault&Millau Guide to Romanian Wines includes 152 wines from 63 wineries.

The highest score of a Romanian wine in the Gault&Millau ranking is 94 points of 100, for Smerenie 2016 from Oprișor winery, which also received the prize for the Best Red Wine.

22 Romanian wines have obtained +90 points, among them red, white, rosé and sweet, made from international, but also native varieties. This achievement demonstrates the diversity and complexity of the market, the quality of local wine and its competitiveness.

The wines from the 2019 Gault&Millau guide were evaluated by a team of 3 international experts holding the highest level of certifications available in the field of wine: Ana Săpungiu (Master of Wine), Caroline Gilby (Master of Wine) and Isa Bal (Master Sommelier).

In the next period, the Gault&Millau Guide to Romanian Wines 2019 will be launched in Paris on 8 December and presented in Bordeaux in February 2019 at “La Cité du Vin”, one of the most important wine fairs in the world, both projects being part of the France-Romania Cultural Season.
