Section 7 Control and stocking of samples received 1. The CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON checks the shipments of wine received and the official documents that accompany them, corrects any possible errors and refuses samples that do not correspond to the regulations mentioned herewith. 2. It emphasises the correct use of appellations of origin and geographical denominations. The labelling of products made in the EU member states must comply with the Community regulations, and for other countries, this must conform to the regulations in force in the country of production. 3. It then proceeds to divide the samples according to the characteristics on the declarations provided in section 4 or, if necessary, on obvious characteristics. The CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON is going to control the awarded wines by comparing a selection of those products to an anonymously-bought sample from the same batch. A certified laboratory ( COFRAC French norm) will be in charge of the comparative analysis and the comparative tasting (by a panel of independent oenologists). In case of contentious question or proved difference, the CONCOURS MONDIAL DE BRUXELLES reserves the right to cancel the awarded medal, to warn the relevant fraud services (or equivalent), to warn the distributors who sold the product, to inform the jurors who awarded the products, and to expel the implicated producers from all the competition organised by the CONCOURS MONDIAL DE BRUXELLES for five years. Section 8 - Classification of wines and storage of samples After checks based on registration documents and certificates of analysis, and the accuracy of entries for each category, the samples are classed per series and presented to the jury panel in a decreasing order of vintages keeping caudalies in mind if need be. Section 9 - Designation of Juries 1. The evaluation of samples is done by committees composed of jurors whose number depends on the number and type of products offered for competition. The CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON convenes and designates the juries. 2. Each panel is comprised of between 4 and 7 judges. The judges boast impeccable tasting credentials. Each panel is formed of judges from at least three different countries and/or regions. 3. Each committee functions under the authority of a chairman appointed by THE CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON, who is responsible for the smooth flowing of 4/10

the tasting, checks the quality of wines served and the filling out of the score sheets and eventual attribution of points. Section 10 - Committee chairman s duty The committee chairman s duty is to ensure the smooth progress of the tasting of samples and: 1. Ensure the secrecy regarding the anonymity of the wines; 2. Order a second tasting of a sample if it is deemed necessary. Section 11 - Organisation of the session The organizing committee of the CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON, which is composed of a director of operations and a director general, organises the distribution of samples between the commissions and the order the tasting sessions are to take. Section 12 - Overall functioning of the commissions 1. Discipline As anonymity is a fundamental principle of the competition: a. During the tasting the jurors are required to keep silent and avoid gestures or facial expressions that might give away their impressions. b. Before the serving of each sample, the score sheets that are handed out may bear technical information relative to the sample. These sheets may also bear the jury number and the juror s name. c. The staff that collects the sheets ensures they have been correctly filled out. The chairman then signs them for validation. d. Jurors cannot keep a double. e. Jurors are not allowed to know the identification of a wine, its origins, price, points or awards, thus respecting total anonymity. 2. Mode of operation Once the commissions are formed, in order to explain the point of their mission they are reunited prior to the tasting, for one or more meetings and will have a group tasting afterwards comparing the results of each taster to provide a balance between the evaluation criteria of each taster. a. The commissions are seated in a well aired, well lit and quiet hall where entry is prohibited to any person having nothing to do with the tasting sessions. Where possible the temperature is kept between 18 C and 22 C. Smoking is not allowed. 5/10

b. A second hall next door but out of the jurors sight is reserved for the uncorking of samples and maintenance of anonymity. Smoking is not allowed here either. c. The filling of glasses is done in the tasting hall in front of the jurors. d. In all cases, the bottles are first placed in a wrapping that hides the shape of the bottle and guarantees sample anonymity. e. The tasting sessions are held preferably in the mornings. Each tasting is done at a rate of fifty samples per day. f. THE CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON guarantees optimal conditions for the jurors. 3. Presentation of the wines Each wine is tasted individually and is not compared. Section 13 Order and temperature of presented wines 1. The purpose of the distribution of the wines is to introduce to the commissions a homogenous successive set of samples. These series are examined in a rational order decided upon by the organizing committee in accordance with Section 11. 2. Every morning before the first tasting session, it is recommended that for the palate calibration a wine of the same type as the series planned is presented to the tasters. This is not a competing wine. The tasting is then discussed by all. 3. The greatest efforts are made to ensure that the wines are tasted at adequate serving temperatures. It is essential that all samples from the same category and the same flight, are tasted at the same temperature. Section 14 Description of the score sheet At the same time as the sample is served, each juror receives the corresponding score sheet. This sheet should indicate information relating to the organoleptic characteristics, according to the sample provided. It must also carry the commission number and the chairman s signature. Section 15 Role of the jurors The jurors verify or complete the information on the sheets relative to the sample. After sensory analysis of each sample the juror ticks the box on every line that corresponds to the appreciation of the given character. He then writes any observations in the space reserved and hands his sheet to the committee chairman. The opinion of the jurors is final. 6/10

Section 16 Transcription and calculation of results THE CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON translates into numbers the qualifying assessments from the jurors score sheets. When a sample is rated as eliminated for one or more categories it is automatically classified as eliminated and therefore cannot, under any circumstances, compete for a reward. Each sample receives a score which is a score resulting from the application of the methodology for distribution of medals accredited by the Institute of Statistics of the Catholic University of Louvain. Section 17 Distribution of rewards 1. The Gold Medal and the Silver Medal Samples that have received, during the tasting and for each category, a number of determined points in accordance with the methodology for distribution of medals, are awarded the following: Gold Medal Silver Medal The sum of all medals awarded to samples having obtained the best results cannot exceed 30% of the total of samples presented at the competition. In the event of an overrun the samples having obtained the least points will be eliminated. 2. Special Trophies The CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON also awards additional trophies for the products that obtain the highest score in the following categories: Dry unoaked Sauvignon Dry oaked Sauvignon (partly or entirely) Dry unoaked, Sauvignon-based blend Dry oaked (partly or entirely) Sauvignon-based blend Organic wines Special Denis Dubourdieu Trophee, which will be awarded to the wine showing the purest and most refined Sauvignon expression These trophies are complementary to those mentioned in paragraph 1. All awards granted by the CONCOURS MONDIAL DU SAUVIGNON within the framework of this competition, apply only to the awarded products and the volume declared available 7/10

by the producer or trader on the registration form (section 4 above) and from where the competing sample comes from. 3.
