With the deadline only some five weeks away, Jim's Loire has heard how some other Loire VDQSs have opted between seeking AC status or VDP – now to be called IGP. The Fiefs Vendéens, Coteaux d'Ancenis and Châteaumeillant will all be seeking promotion to appellation status. My guess is that Saint-Pourçain, which has previously applied for full appellation status, will apply again. And why shouldn't all of the above be successful if Orléans-Cléry is considered worth of being AC!
