COMMUNICATION OF STANDARD AMENDMENT MODIFYING THE SINGLE DOCUMENT

‘COTEAUX DES BARONNIES’

PGI-FR-A1159-AM02

Submitted on: 14 December 2020

DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT

1. Organoleptic description of the wine(s)

Information about the colour of the wines has been added to the organoleptic description of the products.

For the red wines: the following sentence has been added: ‘The colours are pronounced and range from ruby to garnet red.’

For the rosé wines: ‘The rosé wines present a palette of colours from purplish to more pronounced salmon-pink hues.’

For the white wines: ‘The white wines present hues that range from pale yellow with green tints to golden yellow.’

2. Geographical area and area in immediate proximity

The definition of the geographical area and area in immediate proximity has been rewritten as a list of municipalities. It follows the 2020 Geographical Code, the national reference source, which lists municipalities by department. This rewriting as a list of municipalities is an editorial amendment that does not require amendment to the geographical area and area in immediate proximity.

3. Vine varieties

The following ten varieties have been added to those listed for the production of wines eligible for the ‘Coteaux des Baronnies’ PGI: Artaban N, Floréal B, Monarch N, Muscaris B, Prior N, Solaris B, Soreli B, Souvignier gris B, Vidoc N and Voltis B.

These varieties are known to be 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. The characteristics of the PGI wines are not affected.

4. Key points to be checked in the specification

The key points to be checked and the evaluation method have been amended. It is now specified that, where irregularities are found during internal checks, the protection and management body conducts an organoleptic examination on bulk and packaged wines. This complies with the inspection plan.

5. Inspection authority

Contact details of the National Institute of Origin and Quality (INAO), the body responsible for monitoring, have been added to Chapter III of the specification for PGI ‘Coteaux des Baronnies’. Inspections are carried out by the inspection body CERTIPAQ on behalf of INAO.

Analytical characteristics of the still wines

The ‘Coteaux des Baronnies’ protected geographical indication covers still and quality sparkling wines, red, rosé and white.

Still wines bearing the protected geographical indication ‘Coteaux des Baronnies’ have a minimum total alcoholic strength by volume of 10,5 %.

For the still wines, the standards provided for in EU regulations apply to the maximum total alcoholic strength, minimum total acidity, maximum volatile acidity and maximum total sulphur dioxide content.

General analytical characteristics Maximum total alcoholic strength (in % volume) Minimum actual alcoholic strength (in % volume) 9 Minimum total acidity Maximum volatile acidity (in milliequivalents per litre) Maximum total sulphur dioxide (in milligrams per litre)

Organoleptic characteristics of the wines

The red wines are full-bodied and harmonious. The intensity of their fruity aromas varies according to the grape varieties and techniques used. In general, they have a tannic structure balanced by a characteristic freshness. The colours are pronounced and range from ruby to garnet red.

The white and rosé wines have interesting profiles, with less minerality and more fruit, evoking descriptions such as ‘fresh fruit’ and ‘exotic fruit’. These wines are pleasantly lively, which is a mark of their freshness. The rosé wines present a palette of colours from purplish to more pronounced salmon-pink hues. The white wines have hues that range from pale yellow with green tints to golden yellow.

Analytical and organoleptic characteristics of the quality sparkling wines

For the quality sparkling wines, the standards provided for in EU regulations apply to the minimum actual alcoholic strength, maximum total alcoholic strength (minimum for the base wine), minimum total acidity, maximum volatile acidity and the maximum total sulphur dioxide content.

The quality sparkling wines have a range of aromas similar to those of the still wines, with a good balance of structure and elegant effervescence.

8. Description of the link(s)

Special characteristics of the geographical area and of the product

The name Baronnies refers to the Barons of Mévouillon and Montauban who, from the 11th to the 13th centuries, acquired considerable independence from the sovereignty of the emperors in far-off German lands.

Located in the Rhône-Alpes region, the area is part of the department of Drôme, with a distinctive geology and morphology. Constituting the Pre-Alps of Diois and Baronnies, the area is formed of mid-sized mountains in the pre-Alpine chain running from the Vercors (Massif) to the north, and Mont Ventoux and the Lure Mountain to the south. This area of mid-sized mountains has several summits of between 1 000 and 1 600 metres. It is a relatively inaccessible region with a highly compartmentalised landscape.

Very stony limestone soils predominate, with slopes or broad cone-shaped formations of fine and rather heavy groundmass. These limestone peyrosols are called ‘grèzes’ in French but are known to winegrowers as ‘gresses’. On flatter areas created from former terraces, they are mixed with often rather reddish and very stony soils. Elsewhere, they are mixed with the limestone soils of the slopes: fairly deep regosols, directly derived from Cretaceous limestone clay. In the two cases above, the soils allow fairly deep root penetration although they are not overly fertile. Drying quickly and warming well, they are adapted to the climatic conditions of the area, meaning the typical Mediterranean summer drought but in a cooler setting due to the altitude and/or steep variation in the landscape. Some alluvial terraces are much less stony but have good enough drainage to make them generally appropriate for aromatic varieties. A notable feature is the heavy presence of almost impermeable clay. This has resulted in a dense river network that cannot easily develop and is unaffected by the tectonic structure, thus preventing the formation of a drainage basin, such as the Drôme basin.

While the climate is still Mediterranean, it is subject to mountain influences, particularly in the form of low temperatures. The Mediterranean character is apparent in the drought and sunshine of the summer, and in the concentration of rainfall in autumn. The vegetation is composed of boxwood, oak, scrubland, grasses, juniper and lavender.

The mountain influence increases with altitude and becomes more pronounced moving eastwards towards the municipalities of Ste Jalle and Rochebrune. Beyond those municipalities, there is a barrier formed by the low temperatures corresponding to more than four cold months in the year. Coinciding with the limit for vine planting, this temperature barrier effectively represents the northern and eastern borders of the geographical area in question.

All the vines are situated at altitudes of between 300 and 700 metres, with a quarter of them at over 600 metres. This feature links the vineyards of Baronnies with the mountain viticulture of areas such as Diois and Savoie.

According to geographers, these enclosed and somewhat inaccessible landscapes influence population patterns and opportunities for using the land. We can therefore assume that the same is true of wine-growing, and that the rugged character of the landscape is reflected in the people and their wines. All of the municipalities in this sector have a particular agricultural character, shaped or created by the physical environment. In the 19th century, the agricultural practice of Baronnies was poor, outdated subsistence farming. Despite these difficulties, agricultural land was densely populated with small to medium-sized holdings worked by the owners. Mixed farming was standard. Since the 19th century, although sometimes sparse, vines have always been there. In 1870, winegrowing, already diminished, was not spared the ravages of phylloxera. Half a century later, in 1921, horticulturalists of the neighbouring village of Mollans created nurseries of plants grafted onto American varieties.

At the beginning of the 20th century, nursery development increased. In this period, there were as many as 50 nursery workers in the municipality of Mollans sur Ouvèze alone. This made it possible to restore the vineyards, which nevertheless remained relatively insignificant.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the mixed farming traditionally associated with small holdings had disappeared. It had been replaced by orchards and vines that were spreading into the valleys.

Red wine, by far the most common, represents 70 to 75 % of the volumes produced.

Red varieties overwhelmingly dominate the local vines, with Grenache N representing 30 %, and Cabernet-Sauvignon N, Merlot N and Syrah N representing between 15 and 20 % each. Gamay N and other varieties are more sporadic, representing less than 10 %.

It is interesting to note that white varieties are rare, accounting for less than 10%. This situation demonstrates the uniqueness of the protected geographical indication. There is a preference for planting red varieties in cool clay-limestone soils, where elsewhere white varieties would have been preferred.

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

All the municipalities involved are classified as being in mountain areas. This is based on an ‘altitude/slope’ evaluation which recognises the drawbacks of limited land-use opportunities and increased production costs.

Further east, the vines have disappeared. However, they remain in this area despite the following: competition from other crops with similar needs, such as apricots and olives; the proximity of vineyards covered by controlled designations of origin, including Côtes du Rhône and Ventoux; and increased commercial competition exacerbated by isolation and the difficulty of market access due to remoteness from major distribution routes.

This highlights the devotion of the community of Baronnies to its viticulture, despite the numerous challenges. General agricultural census data show that there have been vines in these municipalities since 1929. The layout of today’s vineyards was shaped by the restructuring schemes of the 1970s. But the fact remains that the vineyards are firmly established and rooted in tradition. The recent restructuring reflects the determination and devotion of the winegrowers.

The aforementioned restructuring work, in the 1970s, introduced a number of varieties, some of which have subsequently been removed, Gamay N for example. This demonstrates the know-how acquired by the winegrowers in understanding the varieties and adapting them to the geological, soil and climate conditions, which are varied and sometimes difficult, due to frost and cold for example. This know-how represents a strong link to the area and its origins in mixed farming. The presence of vines on a particular slope or plateau is the result of planning and decades of experience. This profound understanding that the winegrowers of Baronnies have of their land is an important guarantee of quality for the wines in future. These lands are complex and fragmentary, with factors such as aspect and incline varying significantly. Awareness of their agricultural potential is vitally important in adding value to a product with a protected geographical indication.

This landscape of contrasts is opening up to tourism and capitalising on its advantages, with sunshine and a Mediterranean climate that extends to the southern Drôme area, along with local products and the countryside. Vineyards, orchards, olive groves on hillsides, lavender fields on plateaux, scrublands and slopes scored with ravines marked by Scots pines and black pines, these are the resources to be preserved, managed and enhanced. This is the goal in creating the Baronnies natural park. The purpose of this regional park will be to ensure the coexistence of tourism, the local economy, rural development and environmental protection.

The mountain influences due to the altitude combine with the sunshine that warms the Pre-Alps at this latitude. These conditions are apparent in the texture of the red wines, a harmonious blend that is both unctious and tannic.

The soils that are largely formed of marly and limestone rocks give the white and rosé wines an aromatic character combining fruit and minerality.

The altitude gives the quality sparkling wines a freshness that provides a good balance of structure and elegant effervescence.
