Gaillard 2

The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between (Othello x Rupestris) x Noah. Synonyms are Noa and Noah Noir. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in France in 1885 by the private breeder Fernand Gaillard. The variety was a crossing partner in the three new varieties Chancellor, Chelois and Soleil Blanc. It is grown in tiny quantities in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle (Lorraine). In 2016, only 0.1 hectares of vines were reported (Kym Anderson statistics).

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.
