More informations about the variety Kerner

Intraspecific crossing between frankenthal and riesling obtained in Germany in 1929 by August Karl Herold (1902/1973). In 1951 and by crossing it with the sylvaner, we obtained the juwel. It should be noted that there is a mutation of Kerner, discovered in 1974 and bearing the name of kernling, with grapes of pink-grey to red-grey colour at full maturity. Kerner can be found in Germany, Belgium, Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, South Africa, Australia, the United States, Canada, Japan... practically unknown in France except in a few Moselle vineyards.

Northern Rhône 2021: full report and top-scoring wines

Northern Rhône 2021 overall vintage rating: 2.5/5 Consistently excellent white wines, but reds very mixed due to severe frost and a mild, rainy season.

For white wines, the opposite is true.’ Northern Rhône 2021 red wine of the vintage M Chapoutie ...

Andrew Jefford: ‘I disregard yield information – trust what you taste instead’

I was with some wine students in Chablis, visiting the affable Guillaume Michel of Domaine Louis Michel.

Guillaume has a little more than a half-hectare of the smallest of the grands crus, Grenouilles (8.74ha in production in 2018, most of which is controlled by the cooperative La Chablisienne): delicious in 2018.
