Q

How does it make sense that the “assemblage” must be 70% of the principal varieties, but the accessory varieties can only make up 10% combined max?

A

Assemblage and Encépagement are not the same thing. Encépagement refers to plantings in the vineyard, and assemblage refers to blending in the actual wine.
