This order approves the updated specifications for the protected designation of origin “Saumur,” a wine appellation. The detailed rules are published separately by the Ministry of Agriculture and can be consulted online. It affects wine producers, bottlers, certification bodies, and other businesses using or monitoring the Saumur designation. The previous 2024 order on the same appellation is repealed, so operators should use the newly approved specifications as the current reference.
