Discover the grape variety: Teinturier

This grape variety has a very ancient origin and is already mentioned in a specialized agricultural magazine from the Renaissance. Numerous crosses with Teinturier have resulted in new grape varieties that are still cultivated, the best known being the Henri Bouschet alicante..., and others that are less well known and have almost disappeared, such as petit Bouschet, terret-Bouschet (not to be confused with terret-bourret), morrastel-Bouschet, etc. The Teinturier was especially multiplied in the Orléans region.

The word of the wine: Table wine

Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
