(As this site is for Champagne only, you can check the rest of the sparkling wine World Championship results at www.champagnesparklingwwc.com)
Fireworks were flying on November 4th, as a record breaking number of awards were presented at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships Awards Dinner. A total of 41 Trophies were presented from the Best in Class winners to the greatest sparkling wine producers from around the globe.
A global ‘who’s who’ gathering of over 200 international winemakers, producers and journalists at the annual CSWWC Awards Dinner in London cheered to the Lifetime Achievement Award winners Michel Fauconnet of Laurent-Perrier, Regis Camus of Rare & formerly Piper & Charles Heidsieck, Ruben Laurentis of Ferrari Trentodoc and Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon of Louis Roederer. Competition Chairman Tom Stevenson stated the following of the Champagne chefs de caves:
Lifetime Achievement Award winners
Michel Fauconnet The chef de caves of Champagne Laurent-Perrier from 2005 until 2020, when he hands over to Dominique Demarville. Michel started at Laurent-Perrier in 1973 and spent 30 years under the tutelage of the diminutive but dynamic Alain Terrier. Without a shadow of doubt, the most important achievement of Michel’s career has been the recent introduction of Grand Siècle iterations, which identify the three constituent years, enabling collectors to cellar and follow each release.
Régis Camus
The chef de caves of Champagne Rare, and formerly of Charles and Piper-Heidsieck. I first met Régis when he was the chef de caves at Champagne Jacquart and was immediately impressed by the silk purse he produced out of the 1987 vintage, which was a sow’s ear of a year, if ever there was one. In 1997 he took over from the legendary Daniel Thibault, and not only maintained his mentor’s extraordinary high quality at Charles Heidsieck, but surpassed it at Piper-Heidsieck. Now he is enjoying the autumn of his career focusing on the prestige cuvée Champagne Rare.
Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon
The chef de caves and vice-president of Champagne Louis Roederer, Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon has won an astonishing 50 gold medals at the CSWWC and, up to 2018, no fewer than 22 Best in Class and 17 trophies, including the Supreme World Champion trophy an unprecedented three times. We believe that’s enough achievement for several lifetimes!
