The 2 September 2026 Order approves the Côte de Nuits-Villages specification.
An Order of 2 September 2026 approves the specification for the Côte de Nuits-Villages protected designation of origin and repeals the 2011 Decree.
Approval of the specification
An Order of 2 September 2026 approves the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Côte de Nuits-Villages’ . The text published in the Official Journal describes the decision as approval of the designation's specification .
The Order refers to the protected designation of origin under the exact name ‘Côte de Nuits-Villages’ . Its operative provisions concern the specification for that designation, rather than a general text on protected designations of origin . The Legifrance source classifies the instrument as an ‘Order’ and dates it 2 September 2026 .
The text refers to publication of the specification in the Official Bulletin of the Ministry of Agriculture . This reference appears in Legifrance's presentation of the Order . The Official Bulletin of the Ministry of Agriculture is therefore the publication medium identified for the approved specification .
The available source identifies the subject matter of the Order, the designation concerned and the reference to the Official Bulletin . In the documentary extract reviewed, it does not reproduce the content of the specification to which the Order refers . That extract sets out neither the technical provisions of the specification nor any associated annexes .
The presentation of the text distinguishes between the Order and the specification: the former approves the latter, while publication of the latter is referred to the Official Bulletin of the Ministry of Agriculture . Legifrance explicitly identifies this publication reference among the elements of the text .
The documentary file available for this section provides neither the issue number of the Official Bulletin nor the reproduced text of the specification . Nor does the extract provide a consolidated version or a technical annex relating to the ‘Côte de Nuits-Villages’ designation .
The Order repeals Decree No 2011-1350 of 24 October 2011, concerning the controlled designation of origin ‘Côte de Nuits-Villages’ . The notice published on Legifrance links that repeal to the same instrument as the approval of the specification for the protected designation of origin bearing that name .
The title reproduced by the source thus distinguishes between the controlled designation of origin covered by the 2011 Decree and the protected designation of origin referred to in the Order . The source does not reproduce the operative provisions of Decree No 2011-1350 or any annexes thereto . Nor does it provide a consolidated version comparing the provisions of the repealed Decree with those of the approved specification .
Publication referred to in the Official Bulletin
The Order refers to publication of the specification in the Official Bulletin of the Ministry of Agriculture . The Legifrance notice available in the file mentions that reference without reproducing the specification to which it relates .
The technical content of the specification is not reproduced in the source file . The source details neither production conditions, geographical boundaries, product categories nor labelling rules that may appear in that document . It also contains no list of annexes, tables, maps or technical documents that may have been published in the Official Bulletin .
The file provides neither the publication reference for the Official Bulletin, its online publication date nor the document link to the specification . Nor does it reproduce any transitional provisions, if any, associated with the repeal of the 2011 Decree or the approval of the new document .
As at the date of the file, the available source establishes the repeal of Decree No 2011-1350 and the Order's reference to the Official Bulletin of the Ministry of Agriculture . It does not contain the full text of the approved specification .
