Where it is

Reuilly in France

Latitude: 47.0°–47.2° N
Vineyard altitude: 127 m to 159 m
Delimited vineyard land: 620 ha

The delimited vineyard parcels themselves, so the shape is patchy: only land within them may grow the wine. Boundary: INAO parcel delimitation (Licence Ouverte); nearby parcels drawn as one block, with less detail for larger appellations. Country outlines: Natural Earth. Dots on the zone map are the vineyard points used for climate.

Seasons are labelled by harvest year (April–October). Year-to-year changes from ERA5-Land; tested against station records in Alto Adige (r = 0.94 for season temperature at Bolzano). Rain varies more locally, so treat single-season rain with some caution. Vintage ratings, harvest dates and frost or hail events have places in the data model but are not loaded yet.

Still to check (3)

Generated from EU reference data: check against the current product specification.
From the specification: The register lists one name; products are split by colour because the rules differ. The maximum average load for red and rosé reads '900 kilogrammes par hectare', evidently a misprint, so it is left null (white: 10,500 kg/ha). Reds are aged until at least 1 March after the harvest; the name may carry the complementary geographical denomination 'Val de Loire', not a separate register name.
