AOC wines

AOC stands for "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée," a French designation that guarantees the origin and quality of wines. It ensures that specific agricultural and winemaking practices are followed to maintain the wine's character. AOC wines must meet strict regulations regarding grape varieties, production methods, and geographical boundaries. This system helps consumers identify authentic wines from designated regions, such as Bordeaux or Burgundy, reflecting the unique terroir (environmental factors) of those areas. Essentially, AOC is a mark of quality and heritage in French wines.
