Appellation d'origine contrôlée?[edit]

Untitled[edit]

How can you have an entire page on Dijon Mustard without one mention of "white wine"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.125.210.220 (talk) 00:01, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The name "moutarde de Dijon" was granted legal protection by "appellation d'origine contrôlée" (AOC) in 1937.

The French page contradicts this and says

L'appellation « Moutarde de Dijon » n'est pas une appellation d'origine contrôlée, si bien que le terme n'est pas juridiquement protégé. En revanche, il existe une indication géographique protégée « Moutarde de Bourgogne ».

I noticed that contradiction when I was writing this article, but in the end I went with the statement that could be verified with sources - for which there are two. The statement that it is NOT listed AOC in the French WP does NOT have any sources (yet). However, I am not very happy with either of the sources for this sentence currently, and would prefer to have something more 'official'. This website appears to be the official register organisation and a search for either 'moutard' or 'dijon' reveals nothing, but that doesn't mean that it didn't previously have an AOC which has subsequently been lost. In short - I am aware this sentence needs better footnoting and clarification and would welcome an expert to improve it! Witty lama 12:28, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
