A Major International Recognition for Chavin Zéro Dealcoholized Wines
The global market for dealcoholized wines has experienced exceptional growth in recent years. Consumers are increasingly seeking healthier, more inclusive alternatives options that fit every moment without sacrificing the pleasure and craftsmanship of traditional winemaking.
In this dynamic context, international recognition plays a crucial role. Today, Maison Chavin is proud to announce that its Chavin Zéro cuvées, crafted from dealcoholized wines, have been highly distinguished by one of the world’s most influential newspapers: The Washington Post.
In a tasting panel led by food writer Allison Robicelli, our wines not only captured attention but clearly stood out from the competition, matching or surpassing leading international references in the NA (“non-alcoholic”) category. This recognition is featured in the article “8 nonalcoholic red wines worthy of holiday entertaining”, published by The Washington Post.
An Unanimous Expert Panel: Chavin Zéro Stands Out
For this comparative tasting, Allison Robicelli assembled a diverse panel of experts: sommeliers, food journalists, professional tasters, and educated consumers.
Their mission: to identify the best dealcoholized red wines for festive occasions one of the peak seasons for NA consumption.
The verdict is clear: Chavin Zéro dealcoholized wines ranked at the top of the panel.
Chavin Zéro Cabernet Merlot : Ranked #1 by the Panel
The Chavin Zéro Cabernet Merlot (dealcoholized) emerged as the panel’s top choice:
“This French wine won unanimous approval, with every panelist selecting it as their absolute favorite. Bold, refined, with a velvety texture.”
Chavin Zéro Pinot Noir : Balance, Freshness & Authenticity
Also praised by the tasting panel, the Chavin Zéro Pinot Noir (dealcoholized) impressed through its purity and precision:
“Described as ‘very close to the real thing,’ it stands out with its balance and freshness, avoiding the sweetness often found in dealcoholized wines.”
En définitive, cette distinction du Washington Post ne constitue pas seulement une reconnaissance internationale : elle confirme que les vins désalcoolisés peuvent atteindre un niveau d’excellence remarquable et positionne Chavin Zéro comme l’un des acteurs de référence dans un segment en pleine évolution.
