Classification
AOC
The Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) is a cornerstone of France’s wine regulation system, designed to protect the authenticity, quality, and geographical origin of its wines and other agricultural products. Introduced in the early 20th century, the AOC system ensures that each wine labeled under a specific appellation adheres to rigorous standards, including permitted grape varieties, vineyard location, production methods, and yields. This guarantees that wines not only come from a defined region but also reflect its unique terroir and traditional practices. For wine lovers, the AOC label is a mark of both provenance and quality, offering a deeper connection to France’s rich winemaking heritage.
