Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to a product specification for a name in the wine sector referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33
(C/2026/1017)

This communication is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1).
COMMUNICATION OF APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT


                     ‘Coteaux bourguignons’
                  


PDO-FR-A0931-AM02


DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT

1.   Yield

In Chapter I, Section VIII, point 1, the (maximum) yield limit for white wines has been increased from 75 to 77 hectolitres per hectare.
The yield limit was increased to take account of climate change, which causes unpredictable events and recurrent harvest deficits.
Point 5 of the single document has been amended only in relation to white wines.
2.   Change in inspection body

Chapter III, Section II of the product specification has been amended in view of the revised drafting rules.
This amendment does not affect the single document.
SINGLE DOCUMENT
1.   Name(s)

8.1.   Description of the natural factors relevant to the link

The geographic area is situated on slopes traditionally dedicated to vine growing in the Yonne, Côte-d’Or, Saône-et-Loire and Rhône departments. The area brings together a group of more or less continuous vineyards, spanning some 250 kilometres from north to south and comprising over 300 municipalities. Each of the vineyards is characterised by its specific landscape, geology and climate. The Yonne and ‘Châtillonnais’ vineyards north of the ‘Côte d'Or’ are planted on the cuestas of the Paris basin, on sediment dating back to the Late Jurassic period, with the exception of the ‘Vézelien’, planted on Lower to Middle Jurassic formations, and the ‘Jovinien’, planted on Upper Cretaceous formations. The substrates are largely marly (argillaceous limestone) and, in places, calcareous. The vineyards are restricted to the more exposed slopes on the cuestas, along the main valleys draining the region, the Yonne and its tributaries and the Seine and its tributaries. The area reaches altitudes of between 150 and 300 metres. From Dijon to the outskirts of Lyon, the vineyards follow a straight, almost uninterrupted series of hills, corresponding to the western border of the Bresse plain, a large tectonic structure that collapsed during the uplift of the Alps. The substrates are largely sedimentary, calcareous or marly, generally dating back to the Jurassic period, but also, in places, to the Triassic period. Mainly in Saône-et-Loire, there are isolated outcrops of metamorphic or granite bedrock from the Paleozoic era that create acidic soils for wine producing. Although the hills in the hinterland are sometimes high (650 metres in Côte-d’Or, 1 000 metres in the ‘Beaujolais’), vines are planted between an altitude of 250 and 400 metres. Each of the vineyards is characterised by its unique landscape, geology and morphology: - wide valleys that sink into the limestone plateaux of the Paris basin; - a thin continuous strip located at the border between the plain and the plateau for ‘la Côte’; - a series of parallel hills from north to south, known as the ‘chaînons’ (the ‘ranges’) in the ‘Mâconnais’. The Burgundy wine-growing area is blessed with a mostly cool oceanic climate. This climate is characterised by moderate and regular rainfall, without a pronounced summer drought. Temperatures confirm the cool climate, with an annual average of 11 °C. This is particularly true for the Yonne department, but is somewhat lessened in the south east of the geographical zone by the protection offered by the Morvan and Charolais hills, that creates a Foehn effect, reducing humidity and taking the temperature above the regional average. The eastern part of the geographical area is affected by continental influences, with relatively low temperatures during winter, periods of frost that can be long and intense but also sometimes very dry and sunny late seasons. Southern influences, particularly noticeable in the southern part of the geographical area can, temporarily, create high summer temperatures and channel warm sea air, causing summer storms. The parcels demarcated for the grape harvest comprise all sectors traditionally recognised for being suited to wine-growing. They are preferably situated on well-exposed slopes of the main hills as well as foothills, cool plateaux and north and west-facing backslopes, all locations with optimal drainage and with soil that warms up well.
8.2.   Description of the human factors relevant to the link

Vine growing can be traced back to the Gallo-Roman period. By the Middle Ages, the ‘Burgundy’ vineyards were already of economic importance and known far and wide. The role of noble and ecclesiastical structures (abbeys, bishoprics) in building the reputation of ‘Burgundy’ wines is well known. Cluny, Cîteaux, Pontigny, the Chapitre de Langres, the Chapitre d’Autun and the Ducs de Bourgogne all helped in their own way to create prestigious vineyards and wines with a flourishing reputation. In the 18th century, the significant growth of the wine trade created a new economic power. ‘Burgundy’ wines were sold in significant quantities in the north of France and Europe, and indeed to other continents. However, ‘Burgundy’ wine-growing very much developed its own identity during the 19th century. The former or recent administrative divisions (provinces or departments) were mixed at an economic level, where urban centres, such as Auxerre, Dijon, Beaune, Chalon-sur-Saône or Mâcon, distributed the wines from the region. The north of the ‘Beaujolais’ was associated at the time to the Mâcon wines. The ‘Tonnerrois’ and the ‘Châtillonnais’, at the edge of the Champagne region, were also included under Burgundy. The roots of ‘Coteaux Bourguignons’ PDO wines are found in the traditional and prominent production of ‘vins grands ordinaires’ [wines for the church] and ‘vins ordinaires’ [wines for everyday enjoyment], sometimes also called ‘vins de gamets’, which indicated their primary purpose. In the 19th century, ‘vins grands ordinaires’ and ‘vins ordinaires’ were of major economic importance. They supplied the local market and nearby towns and industrial centres such as Le Creusot or the coal mining districts of Autun, Epinac or Montceau. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, ‘vins ordinaires’, made from common grape varieties such as Gamay N or Melon B, came to be distinguished from ‘vins grands ordinaires’ or ‘passe-tout-grains’ wines, which were made with a larger proportion of ‘cépages fins’ [elegant varieties] such as Pinot Noir N or Chardonnay B. At that time, these concepts were mainly used for Côte-d’Or wines, to set them apart from the prestigious ‘crus’ of ‘la Côte’. Between 1919 and 1930, various judgments gradually laid down a framework for the ‘Bourgogne ordinaire’ designation of origin, equating it to the ‘Bourgogne grand ordinaire’ designation of origin and extending it to Burgundy wine-growing in its entirety. The ‘Bourgogne ordinaire’ or ‘Bourgogne grand ordinaire’ protected designation of origin was recognised by decree in 1937. It is now known as ‘Coteaux Bourguignons’. A relatively limited range of traditional Burgundy grape varieties is used. White wines are dominated by the Chardonnay B and Aligoté B varieties and occasionally feature Pinot Blanc B and Melon B. In red and rosé wines, the primary variety is Gamay N, accompanied by Pinot Noir N and Pinot Gris G, known locally as ‘Beurot’. In Yonne, the César N and Tressot N varieties feature occasionally.
8.3.   Information on the quality and characteristics of the product

The red and rosé wines are very fruity, have a relatively fine tannic structure, and can have great finesse. The white wines are generally floral and fresh. These characteristics are preserved by a short ageing period. The wines must be drunk when young in order to enjoy their full aromatic strength.
8.4.   Causal interactions

The Burgundy vineyards are located in the north, where vines face major climate-related constraints. Due to this, planting is limited to more favourable locations, namely slopes with a mesoclimate which is dryer and warmer than the regional climate, and with well-draining soils able to remove excess water, with good fertility and which heat up quickly. These prime locations consist entirely of demarcated parcels whose grapes may be used to produce ‘Coteaux Bourguignons’ PDO wines and span locations which stay fairly fresh, in particular foothills with relatively heavy soils or plateaus and slopes with a cool, airy climate. Aside from the César N variety about which little is known, all other grape varieties are probably indigenous and closely related (the ‘Pinot’ family), and have been selected and adapted to local conditions since the Middle Ages. The varieties used – which are particularly suited to the soil and climate conditions of the geographical area – combined with the diversity of natural conditions, make for a wide range of white, red and rosé wines with the characteristics of northern wines, such as a freshness and fruitiness, lending them a certain elegance. ‘Coteaux Bourguignons’ wines are a major part of Burgundy wine production. They must be drunk when young in order to enjoy their fruitiness and are not intended for keeping. Nevertheless, they express the specific characteristics of the area, embodied by the climate, indigenous grape varieties and local know-how.
