Discover the grape variety: Aubun

Aubun is not to be confused with another grape variety with the same sound, aubin. This one is a black grape plant of which the Vaucluse is the probable cradle. Covering nearly 5,400 hectares of vineyards in the late 1990s, its cultivation was reduced to some 1,400 hectares in the mid-2000s. California and Australia also have discreet plantations. In the Var, Lot-et-Garonne, Gers, Ardèche and other departments, aubun is authorized, if not recommended. Its third-period ripeness promises medium to large bunches of compact, cylindrical grapes that will produce medium-quality wine. Quite alcoholic, the wine produced from Aubun is a lightly colored red. After budburst, the shoots bear young branches covered with a cottony veil. The young leaves are yellowish and downy. The older ones have pubescent, cottony blades with 5 to 7 limbs.
