Discover the grape variety: Canari

The Canary is rarely found in today's vineyards. Its origins are probably in the Pyrenees, precisely in the Ariège. Its repertoire of alternative appellations is vast. Boudalès from the Cévennes becomes folle noire in Fronton. It is also known as chalosse noire, ugne noire or canaril, and can be recognized by its early buds. The very productive vine shows remarkable vigour. Even the black rot does not get the better of this variety. The shoots are covered with foliage, the most exposed parts of which turn red in the autumn. When the grapes reach maturity, which occurs in the second late season, the Canari displays compact, section-shaped bunches of small to medium size. The fins are sometimes very crowded, gathering berries with characteristic colors. The bluish-black shell protects a very juicy flesh. A rather lightly coloured and ordinary wine emerges from the vinification of this variety.

This may seem like excessive haste, given the scope of the book, but it is astonishing how rapidly changes can take place in the region. Burgundy, in contrast, is relatively stable, since most properties are family-owned and tend to stay that way. But not so in Bordeaux, where there are ample opportunities for newcomers to acquire established properties, as they have been doing ...
