#52026XC02579Approved standard amendment to the PDO specification for Crémant de Bordeaux
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This notice publishes an approved standard update to the PDO rules for Crémant de Bordeaux. The main changes are a revised map of the vineyard parcels and an updated geographic code reference, with the area boundaries unchanged. Producers of Crémant de Bordeaux in Gironde must follow the updated specification for vineyard location, labeling, bottling, aging, and production methods. For wineries, the practical impact is limited but real: the geographic reference has been modernized to the 2025 official code, the parcel list has been updated, and the single document now reflects the revised area description. The wine must still be made in the defined Bordeaux area, with bottle fermentation in glass, minimum aging rules, and the label rules for using 'Vin de Bordeaux' or 'Grand Vin de Bordeaux' still applying.
