AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The notice approves standard updates to the product specification for the French PGI wine “Mont Caume.” It updates the geographic references used to define the production area, without changing the area itself, by linking the municipality list to the 2024 official French geographic code. It also adds two eligible grape varieties, Mourvèdre blanc and Mourvèdre gris, to the PGI specification. The practical effect is mainly for wine producers and certification bodies working with “Mont Caume,” who must follow the updated specification when producing, labeling, or checking wines under this protected name.
