Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to the product specification for a name in the wine sector referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33
(2021/C 93/08)
This notice is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1).
COMMUNICATION OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT TO THE SINGLE DOCUMENT

‘Drôme’


PGI-FR-A1121-AM02


Submitted on: 14 December 2020


DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT

1.   Organoleptic description of the wine(s)

The organoleptic description of the products has been expanded with regard to the colour of the wines: ‘The red wines can be drunk young and fresh. The colours are pronounced and range from raspberry to garnet red.
The rosé wines are well balanced which helps them to maintain their fruity character. They present a palette of colours from pale salmon-grey to more pronounced violet hues.
The white wines range in colour from pale yellow with green tints to yellow with gold tints. They are dry, and full of freshness and elegance with floral notes.’
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 a change of format that does not require amendment to the geographical area and area in immediate proximity.
3.   Vine varieties

The following 10 varieties have been added to those listed for the production of wines eligible for the ‘Drôme’ 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. They do not affect the characteristics of the PGI wines.
4.   Link with the geographical area

The causal link is based on the interaction between the specificities of the geographical area and of the product. This has been explained more clearly with the addition of the following sentence:
‘There is a mesoclimate characteristic of where the outer reaches of a Mediterranean climate transform into a semi-continental climate. As a consequence, the PGI varieties are planted on parcels sited on mid or lower slopes with well-drained and rapidly warming soils. This synergy allows the primary aromas of the grapes to be preserved, producing fresh wines characterised either by fruity or by floral notes.’
5.   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.
6.   Inspection authority

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

8.   Description of the link(s)


Specificity of the geographical area and specificity of the product

The territory of the protected geographical indication ‘Drôme’ is situated in the department of Drôme in the Rhône-Alpes region. It has a varied geography with mountainous terrain covering nearly two thirds of its surface area. Located by the Rhône arterial route, on the left bank of the river, it extends some 135 kilometres north to south, and 100 kilometres east to west.
Agriculture, with its diversified production, is an essential activity in the Drôme area. It is based on family-sized holdings, of an average size of 31 hectares, which remain sustainable thanks to diversification into the following: forestry, mixed farming, seeds, olive groves, lavender and aromatic plants, among others. However, certain activities, such as viticulture, are present practically throughout the area, most especially on mid and lower slopes.
The department of Drôme has stony clay-limestone soils and, on the slopes and inclines, stony layers. These regulate the water supplied to the vines and, at night, supply heat stored during the day. There are also loess soils and sandy soils in which the water supply is more irregular. This wide variety of soils explains the multiplicity of grape varieties.
The climate of Drôme is continental in the north, gradually becoming Mediterranean south of Valence. The eastern two thirds of the department are characterised by mountain influence, especially above 600 to 700 metres in altitude. These influences can be seen in the variety of local climates.
Rainfall is quite high, even in the Mediterranean area. The rain is fairly evenly distributed over the 12 months of the year in the north of the department. However, further south, it is heavier in the autumn, becoming scarce in summer. There are two main types of wind: the Mistral from the north, and the ocean wind from the south. The Mistral dries the air while the ocean wind brings the mild, damp air from the Mediterranean. These winds result from the difference in atmospheric pressure between the regions of the north and south. They can be powerful, especially in the Rhône Valley, but they are beneficial and necessary for the vines to develop.
The diversity of soils and climates of Drôme is matched by a great diversity of grape varieties, although red wines predominate widely, accounting for around half of the production volumes.
The northern part of the department is influenced by the controlled designation of origin ‘Crozes-Hermitage’ and its products. Here, single varieties are most common. The red and rosé wines are largely made from Syrah N and Gamay N, and the white wines from Marsanne B, Roussanne B and Viognier B.
Conversely, in the southern and eastern areas of the department, the multiplicity of climatic and geological influences means that numerous grape varieties are grown. The red and rosés wines are made from Grenache N, Merlot N, Syrah N, Cabernet-Sauvignon N, Gamay N, Cinsault N or Carignan N. Marselan N and Caladoc N may be used in response to the Mediterranean climate. The white wines are made from Chardonnay B, Aligoté B and Viognier B.

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

There is a mesoclimate characteristic of where the outer reaches of a Mediterranean climate transform into a semi-continental climate. As a consequence, the PGI varieties are planted on parcels sited on mid or lower slopes with well-drained and rapidly warming soils. This synergy allows the primary aromas of the grapes to be preserved, producing fresh wines characterised either by fruity or by floral notes.
Archaeological remains, and especially the discovery of amphorae, attest that winegrowing has shaped the landscape of Drôme since the 2nd century AD.
The ‘Gaulish vine’ of the Rhône Valley was very popular at Roman tables. During this era, the forests were cleared and the slopes planted with vines, making this region one of the most beautiful of Gaul.
Over time, the diversity of the Drôme region has called for an assortment of skills and grape varieties and, above all, constant adaptation to improve vineyard planting in the area while respecting its biodiversity.
Thanks to the meeting of semi-continental and Mediterranean climatic influences, the wines are balanced. The still and quality sparkling wines of the PGI ‘Drôme’ have a characteristic freshness and aromatic expression.
The winegrowing identity of the PGI ‘Drôme’ area is further strengthened by longstanding production of rootstocks and cuttings.
From Tain l’Hermitage, at the southern end of the department, to Diois to the Montélimar plain, the winegrowing culture is rooted in the rural customs and practices. Furthermore, winegrowing is the second only to forestry in the productivity of Drôme.
Some 35 000 hectolitres are placed on the market annually in Drôme, produced by 100 winegrowing establishments, including 63 individual wineries.
The unique identity of the PGI ‘Drôme’ wines is growing thanks to an ever-increasing synergy between the production and direct sale of wines from cellars, and the local gastronomy, numerous festivities and rural tourism, especially with its wine routes. The reputation of the wines of PGI ‘Drôme’ is being strengthened among local consumers by events including wine fairs, such as the Salon des vins de Tain l’Hermitage and the publication of the updated tourist guide Promenade Gourmande dans la Drôme (Gastronomic Route through Drôme).
At national level, PGI ‘Drôme’ wines feature in the Hachette wine guide and regularly win medals at the Concours Général Agricole (General Agricultural Contest) in Paris.
All of this dynamism is contributing to developing the reputation of the PGI Drôme wines at both local and national level.
