Guide Hachette des vins 2025 : The reference guide for 40 years (French edition)

The Guide Hachette des Vins 2025 is a true institution in the wine world, recognized for its rigor, independence, and objectivity since its creation in 1985. Over 40 years, it has established itself as the reference guide for both amateurs and professionals, thanks to its strict and impartial selection methods.

A unique selection process
Each year, more than 35,000 wines are tasted blind, a method that ensures a selection based solely on the quality of the wine, without influence from the fame of the estate or the winemaker. The tastings are conducted by professionals from the concerned region, experts in the appellations they evaluate, ensuring a perfect mastery of the selection criteria.

Diversity and uncompromising independence
The Guide Hachette makes no concessions: all types of wines, all appellations, and IGPs of France are considered. Moreover, the tastings are collegial, bringing together oenologists, technicians, sommeliers, merchants, and winemakers to achieve the most objective evaluation possible. Wine entries to the guide are free and open, and no wine industry advertising is accepted, guaranteeing the guide's total independence.

A rigorous and representative selection
Of the 35,000 wines tasted, only 7,000 to 8,000 are selected for each edition, rated from 1 to 3 stars. Among these selected wines, there are about 500 favorites, 2,000 good value-for-money wines, and more than 1,000 organic wines. The guide also highlights the Winemakers of the Year, chosen by the editorial team for their excellence and contribution to the wine world.
