Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards

The Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards is a unique international wine competition, judged exclusively by women wine professionals in Japan. Sommeliers, buyers, journalists, and industry experts taste each wine blind, without any indication of its origin, producer, or grape variety. This method ensures complete impartiality, where only the quality and character of the wine truly matter.

Wines are scored according to strict criteria, combining balance, elegance, and overall appeal, particularly in relation to the Japanese market. The highest-rated wines are awarded medals such as Gold, Double Gold, or Grand Prix, becoming trusted benchmarks for both consumers and professionals.

For us at Domaines Paul Mas, receiving a distinction at the Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards is a meaningful recognition. It reflects our commitment to crafting wines that are both expressive of our Southern French terroirs and aligned with the expectations of international markets. This award strengthens our presence in Japan and reinforces our dedication to producing wines of character, precision, and accessibility.
