Landal Noir

The red grape variety is an interspecific new cross between Seibel 5455 (Plantet) x Seibel 8216. Synonyms are 244 Landot, Landal and Landot 244. It contains genes from Vitis berlandieri, Vitis cinerea, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in France by the breeder Pierre Landot (1900-1942). He then used it as a crossing partner in the new variety Landot Noir, which has a similar name. The early-maturing vine is resistant to frost, but susceptible to fungal diseases such as powdery and downy mildew. It yields powerful red wines with a subtle foxtone, but is also used as a rootstock. In France, the variety is mainly cultivated on 37 hectares along the Loire. Small populations are also said to exist in Switzerland, Canada and the US state of Pennsylvania. In 2016, however, only the French stock was reported (Kym Anderson statistics).
