The MICHELIN Guide starts rating wine estates. Burgundy goes first
The Guide is putting its name behind a wine-estate rating for the first time, with a four-tier scale led by Burgundy — a new kind of endorsement built for the same wall as a star or a Key.
The MICHELIN Guide announced on 7 July 2026 that it is launching its first-ever wine-estate rating, called MICHELIN Grapes, according to a statement on the Guide's own newsroom. The scale runs to four tiers — One, Two and Three Grapes, plus an entry-level "Selected" distinction — and the Guide said the selection begins with Burgundy.
