Discover the grape variety: Sérénèze de Voreppe
A very old grape variety that was once grown in the Grésivaudan region, and more generally in the Isère Valley from Grenoble to Tullins. It could also be found in Savoie and in the northern part of the Drôme. It should be noted that it was confused for a long time - even today - with the ciréné de Romans with which it shares many synonyms including sérenèze. According to Thierry Lacombe (I.N.R.A./Montpellier), it is the result of a natural intraspecific cross between the white gouais and the chatus. Sérénèze de Voreppe is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties, list A1, under the name Sérénèze.
