(Decanter) - Paris and the Ile de France region hopes to receive its first basic appellation wine - an IGP - in the next few months.

The Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) category has replaced the Vins de Pays for wines that come from a specific region of France, but are not bound by rules as strict as the Appellation Controllée system.

Currently Paris has only one commercial vineyard, in Suresnes, in the western suburbs of the city.

There are several other small vineyards that are non-commercial, meaning their production can only be used for charitable purposes. The most famous Parisian vineyard, in Montmartre, falls into this category.

‘I hope we will have five IGPs within the Ile de France in the next five years,’ Patrice Bersac of lobbying group Les Vignerons Franciliens told Decanter.com. ‘Starting with IGP Suresnes in 2013, which is currently bottled as a table wine.’
