Obligations
What this law requires
Businesses using the Saint-Estèphe appellation must apply the newly homologated cahier des charges (official product specification) now in force for the protected designation of origin Saint-Estèphe, rather than the repealed 2021 version.
Wine producers and other operators using the appellation must comply with the homologated product specifications (cahier des charges) for the protected designation of origin 'Saint-Estèphe' as published by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Operators may rely on the official Saint-Estèphe cahier des charges as published by the Ministry of Agriculture and must use that published reference for compliance checks and product conformity assessments.
Operators may no longer rely on the 26 October 2021 order for compliance purposes, because that order has been abrogated and is replaced by the homologated Saint-Estèphe specifications referenced in the present order.
Any use of the 'Saint-Estèphe' appellation must be aligned with the updated official specifications published in the Ministry of Agriculture bulletin and accessible via the cited official URL.
