#52026XC03249EU approves standard amendment for the Côtes du Marmandais PDO wine specification
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The notice approves changes to the product rules for Côtes du Marmandais, a French PDO wine. It gives some long-established vineyards more time, until 2048, to meet required planting-density rules, while applying lower yield limits to those parcels. The change mainly affects Côtes du Marmandais wine producers and oversight bodies in France. It also updates the list of municipalities using the 2025 geographic code, but does not expand or shrink the wine’s protected production area.

Obligations
What this law requires
Côtes du Marmandais PDO wine producers with long-established vineyard parcels planted at densities between 3,300 and 3,999 plants per hectare, or between 2,000 and 3,299 plants per hectare, may rely on the extended transitional measure only until 2048 and must bring those parcels into line with the product specification planting-density requirements by the end of that transitional period.
Côtes du Marmandais PDO wine producers using the extended transitional planting-density measure must apply the reduced yield limits applicable to those non-compliant parcels during the transitional period.
