Discover the grape variety: Colombaud
The colombaud grape variety is equally appreciated as a white table grape and as a wine grape. Originally from Provence, it is practically no longer found in the vineyards. It is known under several other names, including poupousaoumo, courambaou and bouteillan. An amber veil covers them on the sides most exposed to the sun. The thin, crumbly greenish skin protects an ellipsoidal or spherical pulp, juicy and firm in consistency. The pulp has a simple, pleasant and slightly spicy taste. The berries are gathered in bunches carried by strong peduncles. The grapes are of medium length, compact and cylindrical-conical in shape, often with fins, and are harvested at the third medium period, as the grapevine buds late. Short pruning is best suited to this semi-erect plant, which likes exposed, warm soil.
