Then have to be approved by the INAO before being signed into law by the French Government. Jacky Blot certainly believes that the recent success of Montlouis is a factor here.

Is there any more to this, beyond the natural competitiveness of neighbours across the river? Is it for example a reaction to the more recent perceived buzz around the wines of Montlouis?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281776114696460317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456611623448834500.post-27464564472992364862015-06-01T09:33:37.212+01:002015-06-01T09:33:37.212+01:00Good question David.

As you can see above from 2013 Vouvray can no longer be vinified in Montlouis, which begs the question why was Montlouis not included when the change to the décret was drawn up.

I don't care what their wines have on the label, but why would "Vouvray" want to eject two of it's very top producers?David Crossleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456611623448834500.post-849835429172431942015-05-31T16:57:53.938+01:002015-05-31T16:57:53.938+01:00Bob.

Not aware of anyone else who is affected.

And is the only alternative to label the wine as Vin de France, or can Touraine be used?Bob Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349830722788278723noreply@blogger.com
