INAO Directive 1/2000 refers to the materialisation of the production area of the PDO under the term ‘geographical area’. It is defined by a list of administrative entities (departments, cantons, municipalities) or by natural geographical boundaries. It corresponds to the largest demarcated area in which all stages of product development are permitted. Nevertheless, for wines there may be an area of immediate proximity, defined by derogation, for winemaking and winemaking. The details of this derogation are set out in Chapter XI of the specification for the designation. In some cases, the geographical area differs from territories where only part of the preparation of the product is authorised. The PDO, the protected designation of origin, corresponds to the European controlled designation of origin. It is the name of a region, a specified place or, in exceptional cases, a country, which is used to designate an agricultural product or foodstuff originating in that region, place or country, of which: — the quality or characteristics are due essentially or exclusively to the geographical environment including natural and human factors and, — production, processing and preparation take place in the defined geographical area. A designation includes 1 to n denomination(s) and 1 to n products (e.g. the colours of the wines, which may be subject to specific delimitations). The recognition of an AOC in France is a prerequisite for its final recognition at European level as a PDO. In case of refusal to register as PDO, the product loses the benefit of the AOC. In the case of a wine-type PDO, the value of the attribute TYPE_PRODUIT is 4.1 (Vins)
