(1)OJ L 9, 11.1.2019, p. 2.EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 24.2.2022 C 88/87  
BRIEF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
The still dry white wines have:
— a minimum natural alcoholic strength by volume of 10 %;
— a fermentable suga r cont ent of ≤ 3 g/l. This may be increased to 5 g/l if total acidity is ≥ 2,7 g/l H2SO 4.
After enrichment, the total alcoholic strength by volume is ≤ 13 %.
Prior to packag ing, they have:
— a volatile acidity of ≤ 13,26 meq/l;
— a tota l SO 2 content of ≤ 180 mg/l.
The other analytical standards compl y with EU rules.
Dry whit e wines made from the Sauvignon B variety have very aromatic, fresh and fruity floral and citrus notes. 
Sémillon B provides body and richness and Muscadelle B adds floral aromas. In blends, the secondar y varieties bring 
out acidity and citrus notes. These thirst-quench ing wines are very suitable for early consum ption (1 or 2 years).

2. Still white wines with residual sugars
BRIEF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
The still whit e wines with fermentable sugars have:
— a minimum natural alcoholic strength by volume of 10,5 %;
— a fermentable suga r cont ent of > 5 g/l and ≤ 60 g/l.
After enrichment, the total alcoholic strength by volume is ≤ 13,5 %.
Prior to packag ing, they have:
— a volatile acidity of ≤ 13,26 meq/l;
— a tota l SO 2 content of ≤ 250 mg/l.
The other analytical standards compl y with EU rules.
The whit e wines with fermentable sugars are based around the Sémillon B variety, whic h gives round, generous wines 
with a golden colour and aromas of candied fruit, sometimes blended with Sauvignon B to add freshness. The wines 
can be aged for a few years or enjo yed young.

3. Still rosé wines
BRIEF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
The still rosé wines have:
— a minimum natural alcoholic strength by volume of 10 %;
— a fermentable suga r cont ent of ≤ 3 g/l. This may be increased to 5 g/l if total acidity is ≥ 2,7 g/l H2SO 4;
— a modified colour intensity (OD 420 + OD 520 + OD 620) of ≤ 1,1.
After enrichment, the total alcoholic strength by volume is ≤ 13 %.
Prior to packag ing, they have:
— a volatile acidity of ≤ 13,26 meq/l;
— a tota l SO 2 content of ≤ 180 mg/l.
The other analytical standards compl y with EU rules.
The rosé wines have a colour that range s from pale pink to a more intense pink according to the technique used (direct 
pressing, light maceration or bleeding/draining) and a rang e of fruity or floral aromas under pinned by a balanced 
structure combining roundness and liveliness. They are full-bodied in the mouth. These wines are suitable for early 
consum ption (1 or 2 years).

4. Still red wines
BRIEF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
The still red wines have:
— a minimum natural alcoholic strength by volume of 10,5 %;
— a fermentable suga r cont ent of ≤ 3 g/l;
— a malic acid content of ≤ 0,3 g/l.
After enrichment, the total alcoholic strength by volume is ≤ 13,5 %.
Prior to packag ing, they have:
— a volatile acidity of ≤ 13,26 meq/l;
— a tota l SO 2 content of ≤ 140 mg/l.
The other analytical standards compl y with EU rules.EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 24.2.2022 C 88/89  
The red wines, in which Merlot N is often the predominant variety, are supple, fruity and not very acidic. In years of 
good ripeness, freshness can be added through the acidity of the Petit Verdot N and Cot N varieties. However , the 
main combination is Merlot N with Caber net Sauvignon N and, to a lesser exte nt, Caber net Franc N, both of which 
give the wines an aromatic compl exity and a tannic power that allows them to maintain and develop their bouquet.

5. Wine-making practices
5.1. Specif ic oenological practices
1. Planting density – spacing
Cultivation method
The minimum planting density of the vines is 4 000 plants per hectare (for parcels plante d as from 1 August 2008 ). 
The spacing between vine rows must not exceed 2.50 metres, and the spacing between plants in the same row must 
be at least 0.85 metres. This density may be reduced to 3 300 plants per hectare. In that case, the spacing between 
vine rows must not exceed 3 metres, and the spacing between plants in the same row must be at least 0.85 metres.
2. Pruning rules
Cultivation method
Only spur (shor t) pruning and cane (long) pruning are allowed. For the Merlot N, Sémillon B and Muscadelle B grape 
varieties, the number of count buds when pruning must not exceed 45 000 per hectare and 18 per plant. For the other 
varieties, including Caber net Franc N, Caber net Sauvignon N, Sauvignon B and Sauvignon Gris G, the number of 
count buds when pruning must not exceed 50 000 per hectare and 20 per plant. After debudding, the number of 
fruit-bear ing branch es per plant must not exceed:
— for the Merlot N, Sémillon B and Muscadelle B grape varieties, 12 branch es per plant if the vine planting density is 
4 000 plants per hectare or more, and 15 branches per plant if the vine planting density is less than 4 000 plants 
per hectare;
— for the other varieties, including Caber net Franc N, Caber net Sauvignon N, Sauvignon B and Sauvignon Gris G, 14 
branches per plant if the vine planting density is 4 000 plants per hectare or more, and 17 branche s per plant if 
the vine planting density is less than 4 000 plants per hectare.
Pruning is carried out at the unfolded leav es stage (Lorenz stage 9) at the latest. Debudding is carried out prior to fruit 
setting.
3. Specific oenological practice
The use of oenological charcoal is permitted for musts in the production of rosé wines other than those eligible to use 
the indication ‘clairet’, in a propor tion not excee ding 20 % of the volume of rosé wine produced by the winemak er 
concer ned, for the harvest in question.EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union C 88/90 24.2.2022  
4. Enr ichment
Specifi c oenological practice
Enrichment by partial concentration is permitted for the red wines, subject to a 15 % concentration limit for the 
volume s enriche d using this method. After enrichment, the wines’ total alcoholic strength by volume must not exceed :
— 13,5 % in the case of red wines and whit e wines with fermentable sugars;
— 13 % in the case of rosé and dry whit e wines.
5.2. Maximum yields

The geographical area benefits from favour able, relatively homog eneous climatic conditions for vine growing, that is, 
a location close to large water bodies (the Atlantic Ocean, the Gironde estuar y, the valleys of Garonne and Dordogne), 
whic h play an important role in regulating the temperature. Howe ver, the mar itime influences that help mitig ate 
spring frost weak en as one move s awa y from the sea and large valleys towards the forest ed areas of Les Landes, 
Saintong e and Double Périgourdine. These special features explain why there are few vineyards on the norther nmost 
and south-southwestern most edges of the geographical area. The area extends over 494 of the 535 municipalities of 
the depar tment of Gironde, excluding the south-western part, whic h is given over to forestr y rather than 
winegrowi ng.
The Bordeaux vine varieties, grown in a mar itime climat e, have needed suppor t poles (échalas) since the 17th and 18th 
centur ies, followed by widespread trellising to ensure a well-distr ibut ed grape harvest and sufficient leaf area for 
proper chlorophyll synthesis and optimum ripeness. The various types of soils and exposures have led to different 
varieties being select ed and adap ted according to the charact eristics of the environment. Four distinct types can be 
identif ied:EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union C 88/92 24.2.2022  
— clay-limestone and marly-limeston e soils, whic h are very widespread on the slopes of the hillsides ideal for the 
Merlot N variety;
— siliceous soils mixed with clays and calcareous elements that are perfect for the Merlot N and Sauvignon B 
varieties, for examp le;
— leached soils (boulbènes) with fine siliceous elements, whic h are lighter soils suitable for the production of dry whit e 
wines;
— grav elly soils made up of gravel, water -worn quar tz and relatively coarse sands forming well-drained terraces that 
are warm and ideal for growing vines, in particular Caber net Sauvignon N.
The compat ibility of the various grape varieties, the diversity of the bioph ysical environment, the way the vines are 
tended and the winemaking process result in wines with a particular style, charact erised by a great aromatic richness. 
Bordeaux’s port and close histo rical ties with other countr ies soon gave rise to strong and well-org anised trade, and 
the region’s vineyards have alwa ys been oriente d towards the rest of the world. Able to both benefi t from and spread 
technical innovati ons, they became more dynamic and were able to strengthen, develop and expor t their exper tise. 
The mar riage in 1152 of Eleanor , Duchess of Aquitaine, to Henr y Plantagenet, the future king of England, led to a 
flour ishing trade where the English imported Bordeaux wines, whic h they named ‘claret’ because of their light colour . 
This tradition continued over time and is found today in the use of the terms ‘clairet’ and ‘claret ’. In the 17th centur y, a 
new commercial era began as new consumers emerged. Expor ts continue to account for a large part of the sales of 
Bordeaux wines. A third of the volume produced is shipped to more than 150 countr ies. The production of PDO 
wines – a vital resource of the depar tment of Gironde – has contr ibuted greatly to shaping both the rural and urban 
landscapes and the local archit ecture (winegro wing châteaux and winer ies). The depar tment’s main towns and cities 
are ports on rivers that developed around the wine trade.
