Languedoc-Roussillon and Bordeaux monopolize the 27,461 hectares of vines requiring the grubbing-up premium of €4,000/ha, but the South-West, the Rhône valley and the Loire valley also weigh in, for production losses. which can be high in relation to their respective surfaces.

Surprisingly, in view of the red wine crisis, the map below of the 27,461 hectares of vines candidates for permanent grubbing up focuses on the vineyards of Languedoc and Bordeaux with Aude (18% of requests), Gironde (15%), Gard (14%) and Hérault (12%). Without forgetting the particular case of the Pyrénées-Orientales (12%), where the vines are hit by drought and die on their vines (like part of Aude and Hérault).
This explains the significant loss of surface area of the Roussillon vineyard, which would lose 14% of its total 2023 surface area with this uprooting requested in 2024 and carried out in 2025. The relative impact of the definitive uprooting on the vineyards of the South-West will be strong: 18% loss of total surface area in Haute-Garonne, 17% in Tarn, 16% in Lot as well as Lot-et-Garonne, 11% in Tarn-et-Garonne… Appearing to await the temporary uprooting, currently under negotiation, Vaucluse would only reduce its surface area by 2% despite the red wine crisis on the Côtes-du-Rhône. Val-de-Loire has much smaller areas. Vineyards are absent from the map below (Alsace, Burgundy, Corsica, Provence, etc.), due to lack of requests and statistical secrecy (FranceAgriMer does not communicate data for requests less than 100 ha). This last parameter reduces visibility on total grubbing-up requests, in the case of an operator leaving the profession.
