Terroirs and geographical indications

No production area is attached to this category in the Atlas yet. It is one of the parts of the corpus we are working to complete.

Sources of the corpus: Names and statuses: eAmbrosia, the official register of geographical indications of the European Union. Geometries: INAO, Délimitation des aires géographiques des SIQO (27/07/2026), Licence Ouverte v2.0, reprojected to WGS84.
Corpus updated on: 1 August 2026
Validation: Seed entry Corpus under construction. Each entry is checked and sourced before validation by the future scholarly board. Protection status and mode of location are carried by each entry: an area delimited by a product specification and a reference-town point do not carry the same weight.
