Contradiction

Maybe it's just me nit-picking, but many of the vineyards mentioned (such as all at the Village level) are not separate AOCs, but are usually lieux dits, i.e., named vineyards. Admittedly, there is a lot of confusion of what constitutes a separate AOC and not, and probably the very loose and undefined way that the English-speking world swings the appellation word around is partially to blame. So either the definition of a monopole should be expanded or the list significantly pruned down. Tomas e (talk) 13:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Monopole is the matter of the proprietary of the vinyard, not of the appellation. For french wines, appellation of origin is controlled by INAO. In principle, there is no relation between the appellation and the name of the vinyards except Bourgogne(=Burgundy) Grand Crus and Château-Grillet AOC.

There are 33 appellations for Bourgogne Grand Crus. Most of them are compromised of single vinyard, but some of them are not. For example, 7 Grand Crus exists in Chablis region, but only one appellation "Chablis Grand Cru" is given to them. "Corton" Grand Cru, the largest Grand Cru in Bourgogne, has 26 sub vinyards in it. For these cases, the vinyard's name may be inscribed on the label in addition to the appellation like Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos', Corton Grand Cru 'Le Rognet', Chevaliers-Montrachet 'Les Demoiselles', and so on.

Monopole means only one proprietor owns the whole area of a single vinyard (not appellation). In fact, there are more than 200 of monopole vinyards in Bourgogne region, and only part of them are classified as Grand cru and have its own appellation.

Instead of 'Monopole', some producers inscribe 'Seul Propriétaire(=sole proprietary)' on the label. For example, Mommesin's 'Clos de Tart' Grand Cru, and Louis Jadot's Pommard 'Clos des Ursule'. [anonymous] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.106.163.250 (talk) 14:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
