Synonym (also Gros Cabernet) for the grape variety Gascon; see there.
The red grape variety comes from France. Synonyms are Abondance, Arrivet, Cabernet Gros, Cayla, Franc Noir, Franc Noir de l'Jo, Franc Noir de l'Yonne, Franc Noir du Gâtinais, Gamay d'Orléans, Larrivet, Morineau, Noirien, Plant de Moret, Plant de Villeneuve, Rivet and Rochelle Noire. It must not be confused...
I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
