The wine region of Coteaux de Coiffy

Coteaux de Coiffy is a PGI title for wines that are produced in the southwestern Part of the Haute-Marne department, in northeastern France, halfway between the wine regions of Burgundy and Alsace. Only a small amount of wine is produced here because of the difficult Terroir, and the PGI does not overlap with any AOC-level appellation. The IGP wines of Coteaux de Coiffy borrow heavily from their Burgundian and Alsatian neighbours in terms of Grape varieties. Pinot Noir, Gamay, Chardonnay and Auxerrois are all allowed in the Vineyards, as are Gewurztraminer and Muscat.

The wine region of Vin de Pays

Vin de Pays (VDP), the French national equivalent of PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) at the European level, is a quality category of French wines, positioned between Vin de Table (VDT) and Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC). This layer of the French appellation system was initially introduced in September 1968 by the INAO, the official appellation authority. It underwent several early revisions in the 1970s, followed by substantial changes in September 2000 and again in 2009, when all existing VDT titles were automatically registered with the European Union as PGI. Producers retain the choice of using either the VDP or PGI titles on their labels, or both - in the form "IGP-Vin de Pays".
