Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to a product specification for a name in the wine sector, as referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33

(2023/C 180/09)

This communication is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1).

COMMUNICATING THE APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT

‘Cité de Carcassonne’

PGI-FR-A1203-AM01

Date of communication: 24.2.2023

DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT

1.   Area in immediate proximity

Chapter I, section 4.2 – Area in immediate proximity – of the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ has been amended to add the reference to the Official Geographical Code of January 2022 and convert the list of cantons, with no changes, into a list of the municipalities in immediate proximity.

This editorial amendment allows the geographical area to be identified with reference to the 2022 version of the Official Geographical Code, which is updated by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), and gives the delimitation of the geographical area legal certainty.

This update has been carried over to the section entitled ‘Further conditions - Area in immediate proximity’ of the single document.

2.   Vine varieties

Chapter I, section 5 – Vine varieties – of the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ has been amended.

The list of varieties selected for the production of the protected geographical indication ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ has been amended to include the following varieties:

| 1. | For the red wines: Agiorgitiko N, Artaban N, Cabernet cortis N, Calabrese N, Monarch N, Montepulciano N, Primitivo N, Prior N, Touriga nacional N, Vidoc N, Xinomavro N. |
| --- | --- |

1.

For the red wines: Agiorgitiko N, Artaban N, Cabernet cortis N, Calabrese N, Monarch N, Montepulciano N, Primitivo N, Prior N, Touriga nacional N, Vidoc N, Xinomavro N.

| 2. | For the rosé wines: Agiorgitiko N, Artaban N, Cabernet cortis N, Calabrese N, Monarch N, Montepulciano N, Primitivo N, Prior N, Touriga nacional N, Vidoc N, Xinomavro N. |

These varieties are resistant to drought and fungal diseases. With similar physiological and oenological properties to the varieties used in the PGI production, they reduce the need for plant protection products. They do not affect the characteristics of the PGI wines.

These amendments are also included in the single document under ‘Wine grape varieties’.

3.   Inspection body

Chapter III of the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ has been amended to simplify the section entitled ‘Inspection body’, specifying that compliance with the product specification must be checked on the basis of an approved control plan and by a third-party body delegated by the INAO and offering guarantees of competence, impartiality and independence.

This simplification does not affect the single document.

BRIEF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION

The protected geographical indication ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ covers still red, rosé and white wines.

Malolactic fermentation has been completed for red wines with the protected geographical indication ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ by the time they are released for consumption. This provision does not apply to wines bearing the protected geographical indication ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ supplemented by the terms ‘primeur’ or ‘nouveau’.

The minimum and maximum levels for total alcoholic strength by volume, total acidity, volatile acidity and total sulphur dioxide are those set by EU legislation.

The wines are primarily characterised by their elegance and freshness. The red wines are generally bright in colour. Depending on the wine-making techniques used, they have intense fruity notes (short maceration) or a spicy profile and smooth structure (longer maceration). The rosé and white wines are generally balanced and marked by a freshness that highlights their fruity or floral profile and gives them a much longer finish.

8.   Description of the link(s)

8.1.   Specificity of the geographical area and specificity of the product

The terroir for these wines is located around the city of Carcassonne, in the heart of the department of Aude in south-west France. It benefits from a privileged geographical location with remarkably diverse landscapes.

This geographical area is bordered to the west by the slopes of the ‘Malepère’ designation, to the south by the foothills of the Pyrenees, to the east by the ‘Minervois’ and ‘Corbières’ designations, and to the north by the ‘Cabardès’ designation. This harmonious landscape of plains and rolling hills forms an arc around the majestic citadel of Carcassonne, with molassic soils that are ideal for winegrowing.

Carcassonne lies at the confluence of two climates: Mediterranean, carried by the warm, humid sea breeze, and Oceanic, influenced by the Atlantic and a cool north-westerly wind that often brings rain. These two opposing winds, which are present on an alternating basis for over 300 days a year, are conducive to the development of the vines and unique to this area.

This particular attenuated version of the Mediterranean climate is characterised by annual rainfall of 700 mm, spread evenly over almost 150 days, meaning that it is not affected by the summer droughts that are typical in a strictly southern climate.

The citadel of Carcassonne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bears witness to 2 000 years of history. Successively Gallo-Roman, Visigothic, a county, a viscounty and a seneschalty, it has always been associated with winegrowing and winemaking. Evidence of a flourishing wine trade dates back as far as the year 300 B.C. This activity has continued over the centuries, surviving several crises and advancing in the 17th century, mostly thanks to the Canal du Midi. Vines were the driving force in the region’s economy until the middle of the 20th century, as the production sector was almost exclusively devoted to wine. In the 1970s the vineyards were restructured and high-quality wines emerged due to the efforts made by the enterprising winegrowers in selecting vine varieties. The protection association was founded in 1980 with the aim of promoting the quality of the terroir. ‘Vin de pays de la Cité de Carcassonne’ was recognised by decree on 25 January 1982.

Nowadays, ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ PGI includes all three colours of wine, with a total production of 55 000 hectolitres, of which 50 % are reds and 40 % rosés. White wines are developing apace. The vine varieties are very varied as the terroir is particularly suitable for winegrowing. Varieties of Atlantic origin (Merlot, Cabernets, Cot) grow alongside traditional Mediterranean varieties (Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah). There are also hybrid varieties (Caladoc, Chenanson, Marselan, Chasan) that thrive in this environment. The red and rosé wines are mostly blends comprising several grape varieties, while the white wines are mainly made from a single variety. While these wines can be fully classified in the Mediterranean category, which are recognised for their structure and body, their characteristic freshness and elegance are particular to this production area.

8.2.   Causal link between the specificity of the geographical area and the specificity of the product

The area covered by the ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ PGI has a climate with alternating Mediterranean and Atlantic influences, such as the opposing winds that meet in the terroir. Bordered on one side by the nearby Montagne Noire massif and on the other by the first foothills of the Pyrenees, the area also benefits from cool night-time temperatures, which are conducive to even ripening and optimally balanced grapes.

The traditional Mediterranean varieties have continued to thrive and the Atlantic varieties have adapted to the location to perfection. The successful introduction of hybrids based on crosses of these varieties is also a feature of this area.

The way in which the vine varieties have adapted to these different soil and climate conditions has resulted in rich, complex, fruity wines with great finesse and remarkable freshness.

The citadel of Carcassonne, which draws over one million visitors per year, and the PGI by the same name are developing together in full harmony. Production under the PGI has undergone major expansion over the last decade, benefiting from the booming tourism sector. Major events take place throughout the summer, such as the Carcassonne festival with almost 120 performances, the ‘L’Embrasement de la Cité’ fireworks display and the ‘Féria du Sud’ festival, all of which provide an opportunity to discover the unique ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ wines that have developed along with the history of this site.

As the leading agricultural activity with some 3 000 hectares under vines, ‘Cité de Carcassonne’ PGI wines, which are now recognised, have become ambassadors for the city and play an active role in the region’s economic development.
