I've got a wine that's a little tricky on the naming front and am not sure what I should be using /

The wine is Bonnet-Cotton Fleurie Poncié and the question is whether the Poncié vineyard name should be included in the naming. For each vintage, there are entries both with and without the vineyard name.

1) On the one hand, the "Poncié" doesn't appear on the label for either the 2020 or 2021 vintage. I assume this is why most entries do not include the name.

2) On the other hand, the winery and distributor includes the "Poncié", as do most stores selling the wine:

Winery: https://pariswinecompany.com/product/fleurie-poncie/
Importer: https://www.coeurwineco.com/producer/pierre-cotton/
Store: https://vervewine.com/products/bonnet-cotton-fleurie-poncie-2021

Is there a policy that applies here that says I should do it one way or the other?

Our general principle is to follow the front label, not external information.

Here, it looks like Poncié isn't on the front label but only the back. I merged these entries and added 'poncie' as a hidden term so searches will find it.

Not challenging the policy but (fun fact) for many French wines the back-label is actually the "official" label - the one that has all the mandatory mentions (like abv, health warnings etc.)
