COMMUNICATING THE APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT
‘Vicomté d’Aumelas’ PGI-FR-A1107-AM01 Date of communication: 19.9.2022 DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT 1.
Organoleptic description of the products Point 3.3 (Organoleptic description of the wines) of Chapter I of the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Vicomté d’Aumelas’ has been amended to complete the organoleptic characteristics of each colour of wine.
The following details have been included in the single document under ‘Description of the wine(s)’.
‘The wines reflect the specific environment in the central part of the Hérault valley, where the river plays an important role in temperature regulation.
The red wines are generally fruity and elegant with very fine tannins.
They are mainly blended wines, made from suitably ripe grapes of the varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre.
These wines are intensely bright ruby red in colour and have characteristically potent aromas of blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, liquorice and pepper.
The white wines are either single variety or blended, mostly from the varieties Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Grenache blanc, Vermentino or Viognier.
They are fresh with amylic notes of elderflower and acacia blossom, and of white and exotic fruits.
They are lively and fat in the mouth, with low bitterness and no roughness or dryness.
The rosés are made from the varieties Cinsaut, Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon or Mourvèdre.
They are typically pale pink shading to salmon in colour, pleasantly fresh with intense, complex aromas of flowers, exotic fruit or blackcurrant.’
