Applicant and legitimate interest

Association des Coteaux Burgonds [Association of Burgundy Winegrowing Slopes]

Description of and reasons for the amendment

1.   Description of the link with the geographical area – quality sparkling wines

Point 7, ‘Link with the geographical area’, of Chapter 1 of the product specification for the ‘Coteaux de l’Auxois’ PGI has been amended in application of the decision of 14 December 2016 of the Council of State, which removed the possibility of producing quality sparkling wines under that name.
The following paragraph has been deleted from Chapter 1, point 7.2, of the product specification:
‘Since the 1990s, producers in Auxois have been making quality sparkling wines, which can be produced in all three colours thanks to the local vine varieties and in accordance with regional know-how. The varieties used allow these sparkling wines to express themselves in their fruitiness and freshness in the mouth. They account for around 10 % of total production.’
The following paragraph has been deleted from Chapter 1, point 7.3, of the product specification:
‘Thanks to its ideal geographical location and the clayey nature of its soils, Auxois also enables the production of quality sparkling wines with an acidic base, aromatic freshness and a long finish. The quality sparkling wines in all three colours embody this expertise in sparkling wine production.’
That decision of the Council of State affects the following points of the single document, from which the provisions relating to quality sparkling wines have been deleted: product category, description of the wine or wines, winemaking practices and link with the geographical area.
2.   Description of the link with the geographical area

Point 7, ‘Link with the geographical area’, of Chapter 1 of the product specification for the ‘Coteaux de l’Auxois’ PGI has been amended in order to refine the description of the causal link between the specificity of the geographical area and the specificity of the products.
The description in Chapter 1, point 3.3, of the product specification has also been added to point 7.2, ‘Specificity of the product’, under the ‘Link with the geographical area’ section of Chapter 1 of the product specification.
After the fifth paragraph of point 7.2 of Section 7, the paragraphs have been replaced by the following:
‘The custom is to make single-variety wines.
The clay-limestone soils give the white wines freshness and minerality, and a very pale yellow colour with green tints. Their structure, which guarantees good ageing potential, is accompanied by an aromatic complexity and a volume in the mouth that is typical of each variety, being, for example, very exotic for varieties such as Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, etc. and more straightforward for Chardonnay and Aligoté. After a few years, their colour takes on more intense shades tending towards golden yellow.
Rosé wines from Auxois are fresh and fruity. They have a range of hues, from very pale orange- or violet-pink to a more intense deep pink. Thanks to their minerality and structure, they can also be consumed as an aperitif or paired with food. Characterised by aromas of exotic fruit in their early years, they then develop aromas of cooked fruit and gain roundness.
The winemaking process makes it possible to obtain two different types of red wine: a short winemaking process in vats, intended to produce supple wines that are very fruity, light red and bright in appearance, and to be drunk within two years, or the traditional Burgundy winemaking process, involving a longer vatting period, punching down and then barrel-ageing, which makes it possible to produce powerful, bold wines with a beautiful tannic structure guaranteeing a certain longevity, where their colour turns deep red with violet tints. The red wines have aromas of small red and black fruits, sometimes with peppery notes.
Some cuvées are made from overripe grapes. Harvesting takes place approximately one month after the grapes intended for still wines are harvested. Wines made from overripe grapes are characterised by aromas of dried, preserved fruit with golden colours for the whites and more amber colours for the reds and rosés.’
A visual description of each category of wine (still wines and wines made from overripe grapes) and for each of the three colours has been set out in point 2.8, ‘Link with the geographical area’, of the single document.
The information attesting to the link for the category of wines made from overripe grapes has been added to the specification.
The following sentences have been added to point 7.3:






—


‘Today, the vines occupy the well-exposed hillsides, on well-drained stony soils, where they find favourable conditions for their harvest to ripen nicely’;










—


The regional climate and the clayey nature of the soils result in wines whose freshness is constantly sought after. The selection of sheltered locations with well-drained soils makes it possible to achieve levels of ripeness for still wines that are reflected in a certain roundness for the white wines and a good tannic structure for the red wines.’




In addition, the sentence ‘The varieties traditionally planted in Auxois are of Burgundy origin’ has been supplemented by the words ‘and are therefore well adapted to the local conditions’.
The following penultimate paragraph has also been added to Chapter 1, point 7.3:
‘In Auxois, it is possible, in certain areas with particularly well-drained soils and very favourable exposures, and depending on the weather conditions in the year of vintage and the health status of the harvest, to produce wines from overripe grapes in all three colours. The specific positioning of these vines allows them to produce wines with aromas of dried and preserved fruit.’
Consequently, point 2.8 of the single document has been supplemented.
3.   Organoleptic description of the wines

The product specification for the ‘Côteaux de l’Auxois’ PGI has been amended to supplement the description of the organoleptic characteristics of the still wines produced under this name.
Chapter 1, point 3.3, is replaced by the following:
‘The red wines are of two types depending on the winemaking process: supple, very fruity and to be drunk within two years, or powerful and bold with a beautiful tannic structure giving them good ageing potential.
Given the range of varieties used, these wines offer a range of colours with shades from bright light red to deep red with violet tints. The red wines have aromas of small red and black fruits, sometimes with peppery notes.
The rosé wines have a range of hues, from very pale orange- or violet-pink to a more intense deep pink. They are flavoursome and fruity. Characterised by aromas of exotic fruit when young, they then develop aromas of cooked fruit and gain roundness.
The white wines range in colour from very pale yellow with green tints to golden yellow. They express themselves mainly through their freshness and minerality. Their structure and volume in the mouth show good ageing potential. These wines offer a beautiful aromatic complexity that is typical of each variety, being, for example, very exotic for varieties such as Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, etc. and more straightforward and fruity for Chardonnay and Aligoté.
Wines made from overripe grapes have aromas of dried fruit, jammy on the nose, with golden colours for the whites and more amber colours for the reds and rosés.’
A visual description of each category of wine (still wines and wines made from overripe grapes) and for each of the three colours has been set out in point 2.4, ‘Description of the wine or wines’, of the single document.
The following sentence has been added to the second paragraph of Chapter 1, point 3.3, ‘Organoleptic characteristics’: ‘The red wines have aromas of small red and black fruits, sometimes with peppery notes.’
The same sentence has been added to the ninth paragraph of point 7.2, ‘Specificity of the product’, of the product specification.
In the single document, the same sentence has been added to point 4, ‘Description of the wine or wines’, and point 8, ‘Description of the link(s)’.
4.   Analytical characteristics of the wines

As regards the analytical characteristics, the information in point 2.4 of the single document has been separated into two parts, one for still wines and the other for wines made from overripe grapes.
For still wines, the following text has been added:
‘The limits specified in EU legislation apply to the maximum total alcoholic strength, the minimum total acidity, the maximum volatile acidity and the maximum total sulphur dioxide content.
‘Wines with a fermentable sugar content (glucose plus fructose) of at least 45 g/l have a volatile acidity content of not more than 24,48 meq/l.’
For wines made from overripe grapes, the following text has been added:
‘Wines obtained without enrichment and with a fermentable sugar content (glucose plus fructose) of at least 45 g/l have a volatile acidity content of not more than 24,48 meq/l.’
5.   Specificity of the geographical area

A more precise description of the geographical area has been included in point 2.8, ‘Description of the link(s)’, of the single document, based on the detailed information in the product specification (point 7.1).
6.   Demonstration of causal interaction

The product specification contains information demonstrating the causal interaction between the characteristics of the product and those of the geographical area, which was missing from the single document. This information has therefore been reproduced in different words in point 2.8 of the single document in order to supplement it.
7.   Geographical area

In point 4.1 of Chapter 1 of the product specification, in order to better define the boundary of the geographical area, the names of all the municipalities concerned have been given, instead of the names of the cantons containing them.
The composition of the national administrative units referred to as ‘cantons’ can vary.
This editorial amendment has been completed by defining the geographical area with reference to the 2019 version of the Official Geographic Code, which is published by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), and gives the demarcation of the geographical area legal certainty.
The boundary of the geographical area remains unchanged from its original demarcation.
In point 4.1, the following sentence has been added: ‘Maps of the geographical area can be accessed on the INAO website.’
This sentence makes it clear that maps of the geographical area are available on the INAO website.
Point 6 of the single document has been amended.
8.   Area in immediate proximity

In point 4.2 of Chapter 1 of the product specification, in order to better define the boundary of the area in immediate proximity, the names of all the constituent municipalities have been given by supplementing the name of each district with the names of its constituent municipalities.
This editorial amendment makes it possible to define the area in immediate proximity with reference to the 2019 version of the Official Geographic Code, which is published by the INSEE, and gives the demarcation of this area legal certainty.
The composition of the national administrative units referred to as ‘districts’ can vary.
The boundary of the area in immediate proximity remains unchanged from its original demarcation.
The area in immediate proximity does not contain the municipalities already included in the demarcated geographical area.
Point 9 of the single document has been amended.
9.   Link with the geographical area

The following sentence has been added to point 7.3, ‘Causal link between the specificity of the geographical area and the specificity of the product’, of Chapter 1 of the product specification: ‘The causal link is based both on the reputation of the PGI and on the specific characteristics conferred on the wines by the geographical environment.’
This has been added to clarify the basis for the geographical indication.
The same sentence has also been added under point 8.3 of the single document.
Point 8, ‘Description of the link(s)’, of the single document has been reworded and supplemented, in order to improve its readability, on the basis of the information contained in the product specification amended for approval in June 2017.
10.   Inspection body

In Chapter 3 of the product specification, the wording of the section on the inspection body has been amended to comply with the new drafting rules for this chapter.
This update does not affect the single document.

8.1.   Description of the geographical area

The geographical area corresponds to the natural region of Auxois, an area of moderate elevation between the granite massif of the Morvan to the west and the ‘Seuil de Bourgogne’ limestone plateaux to the east. It lies in the west of the department of Côte d’Or in Burgundy.
It is a collection of predominantly clayey valleys and plains separated by limestone plateaux at an elevation of 500 metres or more. The region is drained by several small rivers flowing north-west towards the centre of the Paris Basin, the main ones being the Armançon and the Serein, both tributaries of the Yonne.
The substrate of the slopes and plains consists of mainly clayey formations interspersed with limestone beds, all dating back to the Early Jurassic. The ledges at the summits of the hills are formed by high levels of erosion-resistant limestone, with the Bajocian (Middle Jurassic) ‘calcaire à entroques’ [entrochal limestone] sometimes forming cliffs that tower over the slopes and enrich them with scree. In very localised areas in some valley bottoms, the granite base comes to the surface.
Morphologically, Auxois can be divided into two entities:






—


In the west, where it touches the Morvan, a plain with an average elevation of around 300 metres, with a few scattered outlier hills, drained by the Serein and the Armançon.










—


In the east, the ‘Haut-Auxois’, comprising large valleys with sometimes steep slopes running in a broadly south-east/north-west direction. The slopes, which can gain up to 200 metres in elevation, are composed mainly of grassland, which in less steep areas is cultivated. The plateaux, which have an average elevation of more than 500 metres, are used for growing arable crops.




The soils on the slopes and on the western plain are highly clayey, poorly drained and relatively cold. The thermal and water characteristics of the high slopes tend to be improved by Bajocian limestone scree.
It is a predominantly cool maritime climate characterised by moderate and regular rainfall, and no summer drought (around 750 millimetres per year). Temperatures are quite cool with an annual average of 10,5 °C.
This combination of soil and climate provides a favourable environment for the vines.
8.2.   Specificity of the product

Auxois wines were well regarded in the 18th century, as demonstrated by Father Courtépée in his description of the Duchy of Burgundy published in 1774. The wines were regularly sent to Paris.
The traditional Burgundy varieties were present: Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chardonnay, as well as Melon de Bourgogne and Sauvignon.
The 19th century was a period of significant decline for winegrowing in Auxois: downy mildew, powdery mildew and phylloxera decimated a winegrowing region that was already under fierce pressure from the development of the practice of fattening animals on pasture. However, a limited amount of wine production survived, restricted to the most favourable sites, and has been developing since the end of the 20th century. In 2010, production reached around 1 500 hectolitres.
The custom is to make single-variety wines.
The clay-limestone soils give the white wines freshness and minerality, and a very pale yellow colour with green tints. Their structure, which guarantees good ageing potential, is accompanied by an aromatic complexity and a volume in the mouth that is typical of each variety, being, for example, very exotic for varieties such as Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, etc. and more straightforward for Chardonnay and Aligoté. After a few years, their colour takes on more intense shades tending towards golden yellow.
Rosé wines from Auxois are fresh and fruity. They have a range of hues, from very pale orange- or violet-pink to a more intense deep pink. Thanks to their minerality and structure, they can also be consumed as an aperitif or paired with food. Characterised by aromas of exotic fruit in their early years, they then develop aromas of cooked fruit and gain roundness.
The winemaking process makes it possible to obtain two different types of red wine: a short winemaking process in vats, intended to produce supple wines that are very fruity, light red and bright in appearance, and to be drunk within two years, or the traditional Burgundy winemaking process, involving a longer vatting period, punching down and then barrel-ageing, which makes it possible to produce powerful, bold wines with a beautiful tannic structure guaranteeing a certain longevity, where their colour turns deep red with violet tints. The red wines have aromas of small red and black fruits, sometimes with peppery notes.
Some cuvées are made from overripe grapes. Harvesting takes place approximately one month after the grapes intended for still wines are harvested. Wines made from overripe grapes are characterised by aromas of dried, preserved fruit with golden colours for the whites and more amber colours for the reds and rosés.
8.3.   Causal link between the specificity of the geographical area and the specificity of the product

The causal link is based on the product’s reputation, but also on the sensory characteristics conferred on it by the geographical environment.
Auxois wines are the result of a combination of historical renown and a particular geography that clearly sets them apart from the other vineyards of Burgundy.
In the past, their reputation carried them to Paris and the markets of northern France, natural outlets favoured by the major transport links through the region.
The geographical area corresponds to the natural region of Auxois, an area of moderate elevation between the granite massif of the Morvan to the west and the ‘Seuil de Bourgogne’ limestone plateaux to the east. It lies in the west of the department of Côte d’Or in Burgundy.
The geographical area is characterised by a specific geology and morphology, with predominantly clayey soils. Today, the vines occupy the well-exposed hillsides, planted on well-drained stony limestone soils, where they find favourable conditions for their grapes to ripen nicely. The characteristics of the Auxois terroir (soil, climate, etc.) give the wines distinctive qualities; these are also influenced by the traditionally planted varieties, which are native to Burgundy and are therefore well adapted to the local conditions.
The climate and the clayey nature of the soils make it possible to produce wines characterised by their freshness, a quality which is constantly sought after by producers. They select sheltered locations for the vines with well-drained soils, allowing the grapes to reach a ripeness that is reflected in the white wines by a certain roundness associated with minerality. In the red wines, this is reflected in the suppleness and fruitiness of the wines made using a short winemaking process, and a nicely tannic and bold structure for those made using a traditional Burgundy winemaking process followed by barrel-ageing. In the rosé wines, the desired ripeness of the grapes is reflected in a freshness and fruitiness, accompanied by aromas of exotic fruit when the wines are young.
In certain areas with particularly well-drained soils and very favourable exposures, and depending on the weather conditions in the year of vintage, it is possible to produce overripe grapes. These particular grapes make it possible to produce wines with aromas of dried and preserved fruit in all three colours.
Vines have always had their place in the Auxois landscape. They contribute to biodiversity but also bring an economic and cultural richness that has left a mark on every village, particularly in terms of architecture and folk traditions. The opening of the MuséoParc Alésia (General Council of Côte d’Or) has made it possible to highlight and revive old customs and ways of life, including wine.
