6.   Qualification as standard amendment

The French authorities consider the application to meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143.
The amendments to this product specification are standard amendments as defined in Article 24(4) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143.
The application for amendment to the ‘Gers’ PGI does not involve any of the three situations constituting a Union amendment; specifically, it does not:






(a)


include a change in the name or in the use of the name, or in the category of product or products designated by the geographical indication;










(b)


risk voiding the link to the geographical area;










(c)


entail further restrictions on the marketing of the product.




The French authorities therefore consider that the application is for a standard amendment.
7.   Description of the approved standard amendment(s)


Title

Addition of grape varieties

Description

The producer group for Gers wines has requested an amendment to the vine varieties used, with the introduction of six resistant varieties, namely:






—


Floréal B,










—


Voltis B,










—


Artaban N,










—


Vidoc N,










—


Souvignier Gris B,










—


Sauvignac B.




The introduction of ‘tolerant’ varieties addresses the environmental concerns expressed by winegrowing stakeholders in South West France. Introducing these varieties, which are resistant to powdery and downy mildew in particular, means that harmful treatment products can be used less frequently and in smaller amounts, thus meeting these concerns since the reduced number of applications needed to ensure that the varieties are protected limits the carbon impact. Using these varieties will limit the impact on biodiversity, thereby meeting growing societal expectations.
The aromatic profile of the wine has been described as part of the tests carried out for each tolerant variety.
The evidence does not point to these grape varieties being unsuited, either agronomically or oenologically, to the production conditions set out in the product specification for these two PGIs.
In the light of the tasting results and the organoleptic descriptions, the wines produced from these tolerant varieties comply with the product description set out in the PGI specification.

Wine




Summary of the link:
The geographical area of the wines bearing the protected geographical indication ‘Gers’ covers the department of Gers in the Midi-Pyrénées region. It covers part of Gascony, a historical province in South West France, situated between the Garonne to the north, the Landes forest to the west and the Pyrenees to the south. The area has a temperate maritime climate dropping off very gradually from west to east, ranging from a dominant maritime influence to a more continental climate. Rainfall is regular and abundant in the western part of the area, with no truly dry period in the summer. In contrast, the eastern part of the geographical area often experiences a summer drought that lasts until the late summer storms. The geological substrate is also varied. To the west it is mainly composed of ‘sables fauves’ [tawny sands], a marine formation generally covered by loess silts, bearing leached, acid, loamy to loamy-sandy soils, known locally as ‘boulbènes’. Further east the ‘sables fauves’ are gradually replaced by molasse, a clayey continental formation with hard limestone beds a feature of the terrain. The associated soils are either clayey and deep (‘terreforts’), or shallow, stony and calcareous (‘peyrusquets’). The transition from ‘sables fauves’ to molasse is gradual, with both formations present in the centre of the area. The ability of the soils to retain water, which depends on their clay content, therefore increases from west to east. The eastern sector, where rainfall is lowest in summer, is where ‘terreforts’ are to be found, i.e. the soil that is most able to retain water. The terrain consists of gentle hills in the west and more rugged valleys marked by limestone beds in the east. Woodlands are a major feature of the the landscape, alongside diversified agriculture based in particular on PDO and PGI vine products (Armagnac and Floc de Gascogne) or poultry farming and fattened duck and geese farming. Vines were first planted in Gers in Gallo-Roman times and developed throughout the Middle Ages. In the 14th century numerous cartularies confirm the presence of a major vineyard. Gers wines reached their peak in the 13th century and especially in the 14th century, thanks to flourishing trade with England and the countries around the North Sea. In 1373, the ‘Privilège de Bordeaux’ prohibited wines from the ‘haut pays’ region, which included Gers, from entering the port of Bordeaux before Christmas, thereby considerably reducing sales of such wines. Trade with the Dutch continued, however, through the port of Bayonne. This was the catalyst for increased production in the 17th and 18th centuries. The vineyards went into decline again during the French Revolutionary and Napleonic Wars, when maritime trade was blocked, then because of the devastation caused by phylloxera and cryptogamic diseases. During the 20th century the producers rebuilt vineyards focused on distillation, which then diversified when production of Armagnac fell. This evolution led to the recognition of Gers ‘vin de pays’ by decree on 13 September 1968. Since 1990, most production has been carried out by three cooperative wineries and two wine producers/merchants. A few private wineries have been making white, red and rosé Gers wines since 2005. Gers wines are made notably from vine varieties used to produce Armagnac (Ugni blanc B and Colombard B) and local varieties typical of the Pyrenean foothills (Arrufiac B, Baroque B, Clairette B, Courbu B, Petit Courbu B, Gros manseng B, Petit manseng B, Raffiat de Moncade B, Courbu noir N, Jurançon noir N, Manseng noir N and Tannat N in particular), to which regional varieties have been added (Mauzac B, Ondenc B, Sauvignon B, Sémillon B, Ugni blanc B, Cabernet franc N, Cabernet Sauvignon N, Cot N, Merlot N and Fer N). A few world-famous grape varieties (Chardonnay B, Chenin B, Pinot gris G, Viognier B, Gamay N, Pinot noir N and Syrah N) and hybrids from local varieties have acclimatised well and round off the vine stock. Blends often reflect the complementarity between a native grape variety and the more widely recognised varieties that have been grown in Gers for around 15 years. Expertise skilfully combining tradition and state-of-the-art technology enables the crop to reach its potential. Very fresh and fruity aromatic notes with fragrances of citrus and exotic fruit often dominate in the white wines. The red and rosé wines generally have aromas of red and black fruit. Advances in winegrowing and oenological practices (harvesting at the desired ripeness, techniques to prevent oxidation of the must) now allow for better preservation of primary aromas, which can thus be more present in the finished product, particularly in young wines such as primeur wines. Gers vineyards are internationally renowned for their white wines (98 % of production), which are mainly dry, although red and rosé wines (800 hl) have also built up a strong local reputation through direct sales from wineries. In almost 20 years, production has reached an annual commercial potential of around 50 000 hectolitres.
The characteristics of the physical environment allow for regular and unlimited water supply to the vines, either through high rainfall (in the west of the area) or through soils with a high water retention capacity (in the east of the area). Thanks to its mild climate, this environment also ensures that the grapes ripen well, which is key to obtaining the primary aromas sought. Thanks to the wide variety of soils and topoclimates, producers are able to find the right conditions for the varieties they grow.
This predominantly rural and agricultural area attracts a significant and growing number of tourists, thanks in particular to its image as a convivial place for a holiday and its gastronomic reputation, based in part on the many products that have been awarded PDO or PGI status. Gers wines are fully integrated into this dynamic. Over the centuries, wines from this area have acquired an excellent reputation, particularly through exporting to northern Europe. This reputation persists to this day, building on the complementarity between traditional local grape varieties and a few world-renowned varieties. Modern technologies underpinned by a long tradition of winemaking enable the production of aromatic and supple wines that are well suited to the tastes and consumption patterns of English-speaking countries. Today, the vast majority of the wines are exported, mainly to countries in northern Europe. The North American and Asian markets are expanding.

Wine of overripe grapes




Summary of the link:
The use of grape varieties producing a high alcoholic content (Gros manseng B and Petit manseng B in particular) has led producers to make white wine from overripe grapes. The production and marketing of semi-sweet and sweet white wines made from overripe crops of the Petit and Gros Mansengs varieties have been very successful in recent years.
The characteristics of the physical environment allow for regular and unlimited water supply to the vines, either through high rainfall (in the west of the area) or through soils with a high water retention capacity (in the east of the area). Thanks to its mild climate, this environment also ensures that the grapes ripen well, which is key to obtaining the primary aromas sought. Thanks to the wide variety of soils and topoclimates, producers are able to find the right conditions for the varieties they grow. The often warm and dry climate in early autumn is conducive to the overripening of white grape varieties producing a high alcoholic content, making it possible to produce white wines from overripe grapes.

Quality sparkling wine




Summary of the link:
Some grape varieties (Colombard B and Chardonnay B) are particularly suited to the production of sparkling wines. These wines have been produced in the area for almost 40 years, involving around 30 operators.
The characteristics of the physical environment allow for regular and unlimited water supply to the vines, either through high rainfall (in the west of the area) or through soils with a high water retention capacity (in the east of the area).

Thanks to the wide variety of soils and topoclimates, producers are able to find the right conditions for the varieties they grow. An early harvest in this mild climate, where water supply is not a limiting factor, allows for the production of quality sparkling wines that are fresh and aromatic.
