Deeply coloured, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, soft spice and earthy notes. Round palate; best young or short ageing. A very cold- and mildew-resistant interspecific variety, driving viticulture in northern regions: Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia) and the northeastern US. Hybrid created in 1911 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace, named in honour of Marshal Foch.

The wine region of Lake Erie New York
AVA shared between NY/PA/OH on the south shore of Lake Erie (>17,000 ha), the largest grape-growing area east of the Rockies, lake effect extending the season. Concord is the historic flagship red (labrusca — sweet juices and wines with the characteristic "foxy" candy/raspberry flavour). Niagara and Catawba as aromatic labrusca whites. Vitis vinifera revival: taut Riesling (the most successful, citrus, apple), airy Pinot Noir, fresh Chardonnay.
The wine region of New York
America's 3rd wine state by volume, striking diversity. Finger Lakes the signature: cool-climate Riesling, dry to off-dry, mineral and lively with notes of lime, apple, evolving petrol and white flowers — a US benchmark. Warmer Long Island for peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Hudson Valley (Seyval, Vidal).
The word of the wine: Downy mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Downy mildew is formidable because it attacks all the organs, from the stem to the grapes, including the leaves, in depth. It was against it that the famous copper and lime-based Bordeaux mixture was developed.
