Discover the grape variety: Arbois
Arbois is a white grape variety of French origin, in Touraine. Its name comes from orboué, a local patois word. It is recommended in the departments of Indre, Indre-et-Vallée de la Loire, Loir-et-Cher, Vallée de la Loiret, Deux-Sèvres and Vienne, and is listed as a grape variety in the Touraine, Touraine Sparkling, Cheverny and Valencay AOCs. Arbois is not widely cultivated in France, covering about 650 hectares, 600 of which are in the Loir-et-Cher region. It is a vigorous variety, but moderately productive (40 to 80 hectoliters per hectare). It is part of the grape varieties used for Vouvray, Crémant de la Loire Valley, Cheverny and Valençay wines. It gives a wine with little acidity, dry, fresh and supple. It is mainly used in blending. This grape variety from the Centre region should not be confused with the vineyard and wine of Arbois, in the Jura.
