Fromage Le Petit Vougeot - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Fromagerie Delin's Le Petit Vougeot achieves the maximum European Score of 100, placing it above 61% of the 36 products in the artisan cheeses category. The score breakdown shows full marks for company headquarters at 35, manufacturing at 35, and ingredients at 10, with distribution scoring 15 and proximity 5. The certifications score is 0, as the only label recorded is Made in France, which attests to manufacturing origin but does not constitute a formal quality or production certification within the scoring framework. Manufacturing is explicitly identified at Gilly-lès-Cîteaux in the Burgundy region of France, providing clear geographic transparency about the production site. No origins are listed beyond the manufacturing location. For a European-minded shopper, this artisan cheese offers a well-documented French provenance: a French fromagerie, a clearly identified Burgundian production site, and a Made in France label. The absence of a geographic indication or organic certification means the certifications sub-score is not triggered, which distinguishes this product from peers in the category that carry such designations. The 61st percentile within a category of 36 products indicates above-average positioning. The explicit identification of the production facility at Gilly-lès-Cîteaux adds a degree of transparency that goes beyond many comparable products, and the artisan category context suggests a production approach that is inherently localised and craft-oriented.
