Discover the grape variety: Jurançon noir
Jurançon noir is a grape variety that comes from the Agenais region in southwestern France. It is a cross between malbec and folle blanche. Although it is quite similar to the white Jurançon, it is not the black form of the latter. Its bunches are compact and short, medium-sized and cylindrical-conical. Its berries are spherical-ellipsoid in shape. They are attached to short pedicels that are warty and strong. The skin is dark black and has a strong bloom. This variety has an average budding time and is hardy, vigorous and fertile. It gives a regular production, but it must be pruned short so that it does not quickly become exhausted. It fears grey rot, mildew, drought and grape worms. Jurançon Noir makes common, slightly alcoholic and lightly colored wines. Vinified as a rosé, it produces fruity and lively wines.
