Lyon is well known as a capital of taste, so it was a natural choice that the city should welcome a selection of the world‟s best wines. The Lyon International Challenge 2015 through the support of its partners „Les Toques Blanches Lyonnaises”, “Global Wine and Spirits” and the Sommelier Association of Lyon and Rhône-Alpes has gained strong notoriety. The enthusiasm does not disappoint with around 3500 samples tasted and twenty-two countries represented.
In 2015, under the presidency of Denis Verneau, Chief Sommelier at the double Michelin-starred “Mère Brazier” in Lyon, la Maison Nid was awarded the Gold Medal for its Cuvée Tradition 2013.
