Typewritten letter accompanied by a hand-annotated map on topographic background, scale 1 : 50,000
In this letter addressed to Joseph Capus, then president of the Comité National des Appellations d'Origine, Baron Pierre Le Roy de Boiseaumarié transmits the definitive delimitation map of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard, validated by the Tribunal départemental du Vaucluse. This step concludes the first trial for the delimitation of a French wine-growing area, a few months after the adoption of the decree that legally founded the AOCs (July 30, 1935).
