Beaunoir

The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Beaunoire, Cep Gris, Mourillon, Pinot d'Aï, Pinot d'Ailly, Pinot d'Orleans and Sogris. It should not be confused with its ampelographically similar sibling variety Bachet Noir. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it is probably a natural cross between Gouais Blanc x Pinot. The early-maturing vine produces light-coloured, low-alcohol red wines of simple character. The almost extinct variety is cultivated in the north-eastern département of Aube. No stocks were recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
