Publication of an application for amendment of a specification for a name in the wine sector, as referred to in Article 105 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(2022/C 88/09)

This publication confers the right to oppose the application pursuant to Article 98 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) within two months from the date of this publication.

APPLICATION TO AMEND THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

‘Bouches-du-Rhône’

PGI-FR-A1223-AM01

Date of application: 26-11-2015

1.   Rules applicable to the amendment

Article 105 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 – non-minor amendment

2.   Description of and reasons for the amendment

2.1.   Partial amendment of the name

Under the provisions concerning designations of origin and geographical indications laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets, the name ‘vin de pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’ was changed to ‘Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI. Operators noted, however, that consumers had trouble making the connection between ‘Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI and ‘vin de pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’, and that the name ‘Bouches-du-Rhône’ used without the traditional term ‘vin de pays’ sounded too similar to the protected designation of origin (PDO) ‘Côtes du Rhône’ and there was a risk that the two products might be confused.

For these reasons, the applicant group within the meaning of Article 95 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 wanted to have the words ‘Pays des’ added to the protected name ‘Bouches-du-Rhône’.

The French authorities, after examining the application, approved it by order of 4 September 2015, published in the Official Journal of the French Republic of 12 September 2015, approving the amended specification, which was published in the Official Bulletin of the Ministry of Agriculture, Agri-food and Forestry on 17 September 2015.

The amendments made to the specification are therefore as follows:

| — | in the title and throughout the text, the name ‘Bouches-du-Rhône’ has been replaced by the name ‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’; |
| --- | --- |

—

in the title and throughout the text, the name ‘Bouches-du-Rhône’ has been replaced by the name ‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’;

| — | in Chapter 1, point 7.2, final paragraph, the last sentence has been replaced by ‘This geographical area is exclusively dedicated to the production of ‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI wines. |
| --- | --- |

—

in Chapter 1, point 7.2, final paragraph, the last sentence has been replaced by ‘This geographical area is exclusively dedicated to the production of ‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI wines.

2.2.   Withdrawal of the provisions relating to quality sparkling wines

The specification has also been amended to remove all provisions relating to the production of quality sparkling wines. This follows the decision of the Council of State of 6 March 2015 annulling the order of 2 November 2011 on ‘Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI approving the provisions of the specification relating to ‘red, rosé and white quality sparkling wines’.

2.3.   Description of the wine(s)

The description of the white and red wines has been expanded. Chapter 1, point 3.3 of the specification now contains additional information, which also appears under ‘Description of the wines’ in the single document.

It is also stated that the values for the analytical characteristics of the wines correspond to the limits laid down in EU legislation.

2.4.   Link with the geographical area

The section on the link with the geographical origin of the wines has been redrafted. A detailed description of the natural factors, human factors and characteristics of the wines is followed by a description of the causal link explaining that the ‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI rests primarily on the specific characteristics of the wines that are linked to the characteristics of the natural environment (climate, soil).

These details are set out under ‘Link with the geographical area’ of the single document and in Chapter 1, point 7 of the specification.

2.5.   Further conditions - Labelling

The text under the heading ‘Further conditions – Labelling’ in the single document has been updated by removing the references to the specification and replacing them with a description of the various applicable requirements.

2.6.   Demarcated geographical area

In Chapter 1, point 4 of the specification and in the single document, under the heading ‘Demarcated geographical area’, it is stated that the geographical area of production comprises all the communes in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône.

Regarding the definition of the area in immediate proximity, the communes forming part of the districts listed have also been listed in Chapter 1, point 4 of the specification. These lists of communes that make up the area in immediate proximity also appear under ‘Further conditions’ in the single document.

For each of these areas – the geographical area and the area in immediate proximity – the year of the official geographical reference code (2020) has been added. This is the official national reference published by INSEE [the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies], which recognises and lays down the list of communes by department. This editorial change gives the demarcation of the geographical areas legal certainty.

2.7.   Vine varieties

The point entitled ‘Main wine-grape varieties’ in the single document and Chapter 1, point 5 of the specification have been updated to include 13 new varieties: ‘Artaban N, Cabernet Blanc B, Cabernet Cortis N, Floréal B, Monarch N, Muscaris B, Prior N, Soreli B, Sauvignac B-Rs., Solaris B., Souvignier Gris Rs, Vidoc N, Voltis B.’

These varieties are known to be resistant to drought and fungal diseases and allow the use of plant protection products to be reduced. These varieties are similar to the varieties used to produce the PGI and do not alter the characteristics of the wines. The choice of these new resistant varieties does not affect the link with the geographical area.

The white wines are generally made by direct pressing. Made from both local and non-local grape varieties, these wines are notable for their floral, fruity aromas, with fresh, aromatic notes on the palate. They are bright and lively in colour with ‘greenish’ tints that indicate their youth. The rosé wines are made by direct pressing and/or maceration on skins. Prolonged contact between the juice and the pulp enables the juice to absorb more flavour precursors and accentuates the wine’s roundness on the palate. These wines are primarily made from the grape varieties Grenache N, Syrah N, Caladoc N, Cinsaut N, Cabernet Sauvignon N and Merlot N, with white grapes often added during vatting to produce blended rosés. They are pale yet fairly vibrant in colour, with tints of deep pink. On the nose they have expressive aromas of berries and citrus fruit, while on the palate they are flavourful and pleasantly fresh.

The red wines, usually blended, can sometimes be varietal wines (Merlot N, Cabernet N, Marselan N, Syrah N, Grenache N, etc.). A harvest that is fully mature, both physiologically and with regards to the phenols in the fruit, makes it possible to obtain wines with a typically Mediterranean profile, full without being hard and with a distinct character,. Extraction is carried out so as to obtain soft, round tannic structures that sit well on the palate. The wines are garnet red with tints of purple when young, turning to a deeper red as they age. On the nose they are highly expressive, with notes of scrubland or saltiness depending on the area of production, and notes of berries that gradually evolve into aromas reminiscent of stewed fruit. They are lively, full and voluptuous on the palate, with smooth tannins.

5.   Winemaking practices

a.   Essential oenological practices

The winemaking practices must comply with the requirements laid down at EU level and in the Rural and Maritime Fishing Code.

b.   Maximum yields

8.   Description of the link(s)

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

The department of Bouches-du-Rhône lies at the heart of Provence. Covering an area of 5 087 km2, it is bounded by the river Rhône to the west, which marks its border with the department of Gard, and by the river Durance to the north, which separates it from the department of Vaucluse. To the east, it is bordered by the department of Var, and to the south it borders the Mediterranean Sea.

A variety of landscapes can be found within this department. In the eastern region there are the rolling limestone landscapes of the Provence Prealps, which run along an east-west axis. Here the mountain ranges of Trévaresse (501 m), l’Estaque and l’Étoile (793 m), Montagne Sainte-Victoire (1 011 m), Saint-Cyr, and Sainte-Baume (1 041 m on the western side) follow one after the other. These mountain ranges are traversed by the valleys of Arc (drainage basin of Aix-en-Provence), Touloubre (Salon-de-Provence) and Huveaune (Aubagne Marseille), richer sedimentary plains of varying size. To the west, vast plains surround the Alpilles. The Crau, located south of the Arles–Salon-de-Provence axis, is formed from small stones deposited at the former confluence of the Rhône and the Durance. It is a desolate steppe-like area marked by the influence of the Mistral wind, and is unique in France. The Camargue river delta is the site of a regional nature reserve with vineyards, pastures and rice paddies, which is home to a rich fauna of 400 different species, including the Camargue cattle and Camargue horse breeds. The northern part of Bouches-du-Rhône features the Alpilles mountain range, running from west to east, followed by the Durance valley to the east.

Soils vary from pebbly clay-limestone to sand to gravel over molasse and sandstone. They are poor, well-drained and sensitive to erosion. Their shallow and not overly humid nature makes them perfectly suited to wine-growing.

The department of Bouches-du-Rhône has a Mediterranean climate, with typically long hours of sunshine. Summers are very hot and dry, while winters are relatively mild. Temperatures vary depending on the season; they are particularly high in summer, frequently reaching 35°C under cover. The average annual temperature difference between daytime and night-time is pronounced, especially in winter, with periodic cold spikes at night causing heavy frosts. Precipitation is irregular and unevenly distributed throughout the year. Heavy showers are not uncommon. The Mistral, a cold, dry wind from the north, blows around 100 days per year, with frequent gusts of more than 100 km/h.

The vineyards of Provence are over 2 600 years old, the oldest in France. They are renowned in particular for their rosé wines. From 1907 onwards, many winegrowers felt the need to associate in order to confront the difficulties they faced. Rules governing winemaking practices were established and growers formed cooperatives and unions, which led to improvements in quality. A precise statutory definition of ‘vin de canton’ (canton wine) was established in 1964 to grant official recognition to wines tied to an administrative area of production with a specific set of soil and climatic conditions. A 1968 decree changed ‘vin de canton’ to ‘vin de pays’ (regional wine). Regional wines were initially identified by the name of the department where they were produced and had to conform to specific production criteria that required a higher level of quality. Bouches-du-Rhône wine first gained official recognition as a ‘vin de pays’, before becoming a protected geographical indication in 2011.

‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’ is mainly produced in two distinct areas of the department: the main area by production volume (65-70 %) has a central-eastern location, around Aix-en-Provence, while in the west lies the Camargue production area, south-east of Tarascon, covering the communes of Arles and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Wines from this area are distinguished by the ‘Terre de Camargue’ indication. This geographical area is exclusively dedicated to the production of ‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI wines.

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

The ‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI, which covers all the communes in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône, rests primarily on the specific characteristics of the wines that are linked to the characteristics of the natural environment (climate and soil). Bouches-du-Rhône is located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of south-eastern France. It features mountainous terrain that gives way to a plain stretching all the way to the sea. It has a Mediterranean climate and the vegetation mostly consists of scrubland. It is also affected by the presence of the Mistral wind, which can make work more difficult for the winegrowers but benefits the vineyards, protecting them from fungal diseases and ultimately increasing the richness of the grapes by favouring higher concentrations during the final phase of ripening. Soils vary from pebbly clay-limestone to sand to gravel over molasse and sandstone. They are well-drained and not overly humid, perfectly suited to wine-growing. By benefiting from these optimal natural conditions and knowing how to select the best plots of land, growers have been able to exploit the potential of different grape varieties in a region whose soils, while often poor, are well-drained and very suitable for wine-growing. Such soils, together with a hot, dry Mediterranean climate, have resulted in optimal ripening conditions which make it possible to preserve the primary aromas of these grape varieties, resulting in wines that exhibit a characteristic freshness and aromatic potential. The red wines are thus fresh and easily drinkable and are notable for their berry aromas, while the rosés are fresh and full, with expressive aromas of berries or citrus fruit. The white wines are fresh and fragrant, floral or fruity, and exhibit their youth well. Today, the annual production of ‘Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône’ PGI wines totals around 50 000 hl, and they are sold by 18 cooperative and 88 private wineries. Rosé wines make up nearly 50 % of total production by volume, while red wines make up just over 40 % and white wines just under 10 %.
