Lafayette

This white grape variety is a new breed between Madeleine Angevine x Riesling. With the same parents the new breed Président Carnot was created. The crossing was made by Christian Oberlin (1831-1915) in Alsace/France. It was named after the French officer and politician Marie Joseph La Fayette (1757-1834), who fought against the English in the American war of independence. In 2016 no stock was declared (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.
