Sancerre (just a village but known well over France) or Chateauneuf-du-Pape, or Beaune in Burgundy (Bourgogne in French), an historical wine town.

What does it mean if a cheese is given appellation d'origine controlee?
The French Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) in English means Controlled designation of origin. The AOC mark guarantees that the cheese originates from a specific region in France, from milk from specific herds of animals in the same area and partly matured there, that the cheese was made using strictly defined traditional methods, that the characteristics such as size, type of rind, texture and minimum fat content of the cheese have been precisely defined and adhered to, and that the producers submit themselves to review by a public control commission, which guarantees the authenticity and quality of the products.
What are french appellation controlee laws?
AOC = Appelation d'Origine Controlée. For a wine to bear a regional name, it must be made within the closely defined region in question. For instance, the phrase 'Australian Burgundy' is illegal in France, because Burgundy is not in Australia. Champagne MUST be made in Champagne, from grapes grown in Champagne, by the Méthode Champenoise. Every wine area has its boundaries and rules, covering the geographical area, the manufacturing methods and the variety of grape used. Less well known is the fact that this rule does not only apply to wine. Many locl cheeses have their appelation, too; generally, anything with a regional name must come from its region. Where I used to live in Normandy, France, our village of Créances was fiercely proud of its AOC carrots.
