Deeply coloured, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, soft spice and earthy notes. Round palate; best young or short ageing. A very cold- and mildew-resistant interspecific variety, driving viticulture in northern regions: Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia) and the northeastern US. Hybrid created in 1911 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace, named in honour of Marshal Foch.
