The expert committee
A FANTASTIC PANEL OF EXPERTS

Each project is assessed by at least two experts from the committee who will judge the ability of the project leader to produce quality wines. They will taste samples of the wine as well as if necessary visit the place to assess the potential of the "terroir".
In some cases, the expert becomes "mentor" to the winegrower and will accompany him over several years.
