Les r\u00e9sultats de la 16e \u00e9dition de l\u2019\u00e9lection \u00ab Sommelier of the Year \u00bb ont \u00e9t\u00e9 annonc\u00e9s lundi.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cette ann\u00e9e, plus de 18.000 votes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9s lors des pr\u00e9s\u00e9lections. \u00c0 l\u2019issue de cette premi\u00e8re phase, les trois candidats les mieux class\u00e9s de chaque province ont \u00e9t\u00e9 invit\u00e9s, fin janvier, \u00e0 participer \u00e0 une \u00e9preuve de sommellerie. Celle-ci avait pour objectif d\u2019\u00e9valuer leurs connaissances professionnelles, leur capacit\u00e9 d\u2019analyse ainsi que leurs choix en mati\u00e8re de vins et de verrerie. Les meilleurs candidats ont ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 proclam\u00e9s laur\u00e9ats provinciaux.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selon Baudouin Meyhui, pr\u00e9sident du jury, Tom Dillemans s\u2019est particuli\u00e8rement distingu\u00e9 lors de cette \u00e9preuve : \u201cTom Dillemans a impressionn\u00e9 le jury par l\u2019\u00e9tendue de ses connaissances et la qualit\u00e9 de ses explications sur les vins. La pr\u00e9cision de ses commentaires et son regard professionnel lui ont finalement valu la victoire.\u201d Tom Dillemans a \u00e9t\u00e9 pendant de nombreuses ann\u00e9es sommelier au restaurant Arenberg \u00e0 Heverlee. Depuis quelques mois, il a rejoint le restaurant \u00e9toil\u00e9 Melchior<\/a>, situ\u00e9 \u00e0 Tirlemont.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un sommelier peut remporter plusieurs fois le titre au niveau provincial, mais une seule fois au niveau national. Les anciens laur\u00e9ats nationaux ne peuvent donc plus \u00eatre propos\u00e9s \u00e0 nouveau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cTom d\u00e9tenait d\u00e9j\u00e0 le titre de Sommelier of the Year du Brabant flamand depuis six ann\u00e9es cons\u00e9cutives, une performance in\u00e9dite \u00e0 ce jour\u201d, souligne encore Baudouin Meyhui. \u201cCette ann\u00e9e, il a \u00e9galement obtenu le meilleur score parmi tous les laur\u00e9ats provinciaux. Il est donc le tr\u00e8s m\u00e9ritant Sommelier of the Year 2026. Toutes nos sinc\u00e8res f\u00e9licitations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Le pinotage au c\u0153ur de l\u2019\u00e9preuve<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lors de l\u2019\u00e9preuve organis\u00e9e fin janvier, les finalistes ont d\u00e9gust\u00e9 dix vins \u00e0 l\u2019aveugle. Leur mission consistait \u00e0 identifier les vins issus du pinotage, \u00e0 d\u00e9terminer dans quel verre ils les serviraient \u00e0 leurs clients et \u00e0 justifier leur choix de mani\u00e8re d\u00e9taill\u00e9e. C\u2019est Tom Dillemans qui a obtenu le meilleur score sur l\u2019ensemble de l\u2019\u00e9preuve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le pinotage est un c\u00e9page sud-africain issu d\u2019un croisement entre le pinot noir et le cinsault, autrefois appel\u00e9 \u2018hermitage\u2019. Les vins \u00e9labor\u00e9s \u00e0 partir de ce c\u00e9page se distinguent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement par leur robe rouge profonde, leurs ar\u00f4mes de fruits m\u00fbrs et leurs nuances \u00e9pic\u00e9es, parfois fum\u00e9es. On y retrouve souvent des notes de m\u00fbre, de prune et de cerise, auxquelles peuvent s\u2019ajouter des touches de cacao, de caf\u00e9 et de vanille lorsque le vin a vieilli en f\u00fbt. En bouche, les vins de pinotage offrent le plus souvent une texture ronde et g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse, avec une finale chaleureuse et persistante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019\u00e9lection \u00ab Sommelier of the Year \u00bb<\/strong> existe depuis 2010. Elle est organis\u00e9e par Home & Table by Meyhui<\/a>, Foodprint by mjPublishing<\/a> et Club Prosper Montagn\u00e9<\/a>. Il ne s\u2019agit pas d\u2019un concours au sens classique du terme, mais d\u2019une reconnaissance du savoir-faire, de l\u2019expertise et de la passion des sommeliers belges. Pour pouvoir pr\u00e9tendre au titre, les candidats doivent travailler dans un restaurant belge et justifier d\u2019une exp\u00e9rience professionnelle pertinente. Ils doivent \u00e9galement poss\u00e9der les connaissances techniques requises, faire preuve de solides aptitudes en communication et ma\u00eetriser les aspects techniques li\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9laboration et \u00e0 la gestion d\u2019une carte des vins, tout en veillant \u00e0 proposer un bon rapport qualit\u00e9-prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
