The red grape variety is a new cross between Jurançon Noir x Portugais Bleu (Blue Portugieser). The cross was made in France in 1957 by Paul Truel (1924-2014) on behalf of INRA at the Domaine de Vassal near Montpellier. The medium ripening vine is sensitive to heat. It has very small berries and produces colourful, tannin-rich, aromatic red wines. The variety is mainly cultivated in the southern department of Bouches-du-Rhône in Provence. In 20160, 61 hectares of vines were reported in France (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.
