Abstract

The example of Bordeaux region shows that the mechanism of wine geographical division seems more to be linked to social than natural aspects. The division between "terroirs" of quality wine production depends more often on the wine grower organisation than on soil criteria that are still largely put forward. It can largely be explained with the setting up conditions of appellation areas. In a very changing wine area such as the Cahors region, natural aspect still prevail on social aspects, which appears like a "scientific" explanation that hides political and social decisions.
