Q

If a producer sources from two or more different premiers crus within the same village may they still label the bottle premier cru?

A

Yes. As premier cru is a geographic designation of village rather than a separate AOC this is possible. Vineyard names are excluded in this case and the bottle will be labeled with the village from which the premiers crus are located.

In some cases however, smaller premiers crus may be grouped together into larger ones in which case the producer may choose which vineyard name that he would like to use on the label.
