Thanks, Juan! The verbiage is updated.
in the Maranges section reads: 'The commune’s reds, exemplified by local domaines Edmund Monnot and Fernand Chevrot—both of whom own premier cru monopoles—'but Edmund Monnot now shares the Monopole of Clos de la Boutiere with Bachelet-Monnot and as for Chevrot, I can't find any monopole from this winery, even the tiny Le Croix Moines is prouced by Camille Giroud as well.
thank you
If it is four AOPs, the fourth one for red only is Cote de Beaune-Villages.
Says there are four communes in the Cotes du Beaune which may produce red wine only. Volnay, Pommard, Blagny, but what is the fourth? anyone know?
Hey Torrey! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will have the map updated shortly.
The map for Beaujolais seems to be incorrect for the crus. It's hard to tell as I'm having trouble zooming in closer and the colors are so close together. It appears that Chiroubles and Fleurie have been switched on the color key.
Correction: 2020 vintage and earlier for my French wines. I haven't seen a lot of HVE logos on Champagne bottles, and no VDC logos), so while the farm may have it, due to the nature of how NV Champagnes are multi-vintage and themes recent vintage I have is 2015, it's going to be awhile before those logos start becoming noticeable.
Champagne has the Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC) certification - https://www.champagne.fr/en/the-commitments-in-champagne. Also, in 2017, the Marne départment had the 2nd highest amount of HVE-certified farms (193) behind the Gironde départment (212). From what I can tell the VDC certification is meant to be a stricter certification. Also, VDC is specific to Champagne whereas HVE (HEV in English) is all agriculture. For the départments that make up Burgundy, there were only 29 HVE-certifed farms. The Ministry doesn't seem to have more up-to-date number easily found on their website, but I suspect that there are many more than 29 in the Burgundy region now, but adoption of HVE is probably still lagging behind there. I can say, though, that of the close to 300 French wines I have, the vast majority of HVE is from Bordeaux. Especially since most of my vintages are 2019 and earlier anyway.
In the The Vigneron’s Struggle section, Lutte Raisonnée / Lutte Intégrée isn't an officially recognized farming practice anymore. While some may still practice it, the HVE (Haut Valeur Environmentale) certification is now the official sustainability certification. There is another one that mostly done in Champagne, but this is the one pushed by the French Ministry of Agriculture (https://agriculture.gouv.fr/hev-certification).
