# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 503/2014 of 8 May 2014 approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Muscat du Ventoux (PDO)), Division 4: Method of production

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The provisions set out in the initial decree concerning the recognition of the registered designation of origin ‘Muscat du Ventoux’, which was annexed to the initial request for recognition of the designation as a PDO, have been added to the ‘Method of production’ section, in particular on:
the minimum age of the vines for entry into production;
the densities of planting;
the pruning methods;
the authorised vegetation height and number of bunches per vine;
the factors determining the start of harvest and obligations with regard to the yield;
the specific provisions that apply to grapes put in long-term storage in cold rooms.
Finally, the provisions allowing for derogations from the rules on the refractometric index, the harvest start and the yield in the event of exceptional climatic conditions have been withdrawn from the specification as they are no longer appropriate.
