1. National authority communicating the standard amendment

Organisation

Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, Directorate-General for the Economic and Environmental Performance of Enterprises

1. Qualification as standard amendment

The French authorities consider that the application meets the requirements of Regulations (EU) No 1308/2013 and (EU) 2024/1143.

The amendments to this product specification are standard amendments as defined in Article 24(4) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143.

The application for an amendment to the ‘Bordeaux Supérieur’ PDO does not involve any of the three situations constituting a Union amendment; specifically it does not:

| (a) | include a change in the name or in the use of the name, or in the category of product or products designated by the geographical indication; |

| (b) | risk voiding the link to the geographical area; |

| (c) | entail further restrictions on the marketing of the product. |
The French authorities therefore consider that the application is for a ‘standard’ amendment.

1. Description of the approved standard amendment(s)

Title

Demarcated parcel area

Description

The demarcated parcel area has been updated and the Annex amended accordingly.

Description

Operators are no longer required to systematically send the control body the results of the analysis of lots ready for packaging. Instead, they are required to keep the relevant documents and make them available for checks.

The reporting deadline of five working days before packaging the wine has also been deleted from the product specification. This deadline is now laid down in the control plan.

6. Description of the wine or wines

Grapevine product

Still white wines with fermentable sugars

Organoleptic characteristics

Visual appearance

The white wines with fermentable sugars are of a golden colour.

Aroma

The wines are suited to ageing (for four to eight years) and have aromas, often floral, of honey and spices.

Taste

White wines with fermentable sugars, produced from low-yielding vines, are mainly made from the Sémillon B variety, which gives round, generous wines, sometimes blended with Sauvignon B and Muscadelle B to add freshness.

Description

Only spur pruning and cane pruning are allowed.

For the Merlot N, Sémillon B and Muscadelle B grape varieties, the number of buds when pruning must not exceed 40 000 per hectare and 17 per plant.

For the other varieties, including Cabernet Franc N, Cabernet Sauvignon N, Sauvignon B and Sauvignon Gris G, the number of buds when pruning must not exceed 45 000 per hectare and 19 per plant.

| 1. | Wine |
Summary of the link

The Bordeaux grape varieties, grown in a maritime climate, have needed stakes (‘échalas’) since the 17th and 18th centuries, followed by widespread trellising to ensure a well-distributed grape harvest and sufficient canopy area for proper chlorophyll synthesis and optimum ripeness. The various types of soils and exposures have led to different varieties being selected and adapted according to the characteristics of the environment; this explains the historical focus on blended wines. Four distinct types can be identified: – clay-limestone and marly-limestone soils, which are very widespread on the slopes of the hillsides ideal for the Merlot N variety; – siliceous soils mixed with clays and calcareous elements that are perfect for the Merlot N and Sauvignon B varieties, for example; – leached soils (‘boulbènes’) with fine siliceous elements, which are lighter soils suitable for the production of white wines; – gravelly soils made up of gravel, water-worn quartz and relatively coarse sands forming well-drained terraces that are warm and ideal for vines and the Cabernet Sauvignon N variety in particular. The ‘Bordeaux supérieur’ protected designation of origin meets requirements the producers have set for themselves over the years as compared to those of the ‘Bordeaux’ designation in terms of planting density (which is higher), pruning techniques (the number of buds is lower) and maximum crop load per parcel (which is smaller). These production conditions allow more concentrated wines to be produced, whose minimum sugar content and minimum natural alcoholic strength by volume are higher than is the case for the ‘Bordeaux’ protected designation of origin. Both the red and the white ‘Bordeaux supérieur’ protected designation of origin wines have a particular style. They are distinguished by their harmony, elegance, rich aromas and good balance, qualities that make them suited to ageing and that are derived, among other things, from a diverse biophysical environment, the vine varieties used, the way in which the vines are tended and the winemaking process. The region’s port and close historical ties with other nations soon gave rise to strong and structured trade, and the vineyards of ‘Bordeaux’ have always been oriented towards the rest of the world. Able to both benefit from and spread technical innovations, the holdings’ dynamism was boosted, allowing them to strengthen, develop and export knowhow, always in line with age-old practices. The marriage in 1152 of Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, to Henry Plantagenet, the future king of England, paved the way for extensive trade. The English exported food, textiles and metals and imported Bordeaux wines. In the 17th century, a new commercial era began as new consumers emerged. Exports continue to account for a large part of the sales of ‘Bordeaux’ wines, and the expertise, image and reputation associated with wines with the ‘Bordeaux supérieur’ protected designation of origin, two thirds of which are still bottled at the winery, are thus spread across the world too. The wines have a more complex structure than wines with the ‘Bordeaux’ protected designation of origin and can be aged for longer, up to five or six years.
