Untitled

J. Robinson doesn't mention grape variety or varietal adjective in her definition of typicity/typicality (see ref #1). From the French perspective, the grape variety is not part of that concept.

As specified by the French Appellation Regulator^[1]: L’AOC résulte de la combinaison d’une production et d’un terroir délimité dans lequel interagissent des facteurs naturels, climatiques, physiques et humains,conférant au produit une typicité particulière. Appellation of Controlled Origin, or Controlled Designation of Origin, results from combination of production and delimited terroir (idiomatic) in which interact natural, climatic, physical and human factors that give a specific typicity to the product.

For instance, we might say "That wine has the typicity, or is typical, of [a] Meursault more than [a] Puligny". Both appellations are based on the same variety (Chardonnay).

Associating typicity to varietal origin is an irrelevant stretch of language, it's a confusion of different forms of identity and indubitably ignoring cultural perspective.

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Typicity/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I would venture to suggest that the article on typicity is as near complete as needs be to define the term. The article is well written in good encyclopedic style. Information which more closely defines the typicity of a wine will be found in the descriptions of individual wines.Kudpung (talk) 10:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
