Discover the grape variety: Couderc noir
Natural interspecific crossing between Jaeger 70 (Vitis Rupestris x Vitis Lincecumii) and an unknown Vitis Vinifera discovered by Eugène Contassot, the seeds from this crossing having been offered to/seeded by Georges Couderc. This direct-producing hybrid was the most widely planted, particularly in the south of France. There are still a few strains in production today, but it is practically no longer multiplied, although it is registered in the Official Catalogue of Vine Varieties, list A1. - Synonymy: Couderc 7120, Contassot 20 (for all the synonyms of the varieties, click here!).
