France: Loire producer faces jail for protest labels
Oct 11, 2011
(Decanter) - A small Loire producer of natural wines faces two years in jail or a hefty fine for labelling his wines wrongly. Olivier Cousin, who farms 10ha biodynamically at Domaine Cousin-Leduc in the Layon Valley, stopped labelling his wines as AOC in 2005 and opted instead for vin de table.
He did this in protest, he said, at the laxity of the appellation controlée regulations – particularly when in 2003 authorities allowed producers to acidify as well as chaptalize.
He then started labelling his Cabernet Franc ‘Anjou Pur Breton’.
