To be able to put my newest purchase in cellartracker I would need a new AOC : France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Coteaux du Languedoc Terrasses du Larzac.

Thanks,

Xavier

Why is this sub-region listed as above, while the peer sub-regions, La Clape and Pic St. Loup are listed like this:

France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Coteaux du Languedoc La Clape

France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Coteaux du Languedoc Pic St. Loup

It would seem that since Larzac is a sub-regionional "special case" (per the AOC Coteaux du Languedoc site it should appear as it's peers do.

Would cause less confusion, too. Otherwise there is no way to indicate Coteaux du Languedoc and these wines won't come up in a search of same. Wine 394039 is one example.

Per the CIVL web site, "The Coteaux du Languedoc appellation was replaced in May 2007 by the Languedoc AOC." That would mean that with the 2007 vintage, there should be no more Coteaux du Languedoc.

However, the "sub-appellations" (La Clape, Pic Saint Loup, Terrasses du Larzac, etc.) remain the same.

I guess the format here in CT, given only three levels of taxonomy beneath "Country," would have to go to (for example):

France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Les Terrasses du Larzac

(which is what T du L was a bit over a year ago, though others like Pic St Loup included "Coteaux du Languedoc" in the Appellation.

I suspect a note similar to that given for Fronton (nee Côtes du Frontonnais) might be in order if you want to avoid confusion after the change is made.
