Its origin is most certainly Valdôtaine (Italy), still cultivated in the Entremont Valley in the Swiss Valais and totally unknown in other countries. It is the result of a natural cross between a still unknown or even extinct variety and the Cornalin du Valais or rouge du pays. It is the grandson of the humagne rouge or petit rouge and would also have genetic links with the rèze and the chasselas. The Goron de Bovernier is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties list B.

The wine region of Graves
Graves is a wine region on the left bank of the Bordeaux region of France, characterized by the gravel soils that give it its name. Unique among the sub-regions of Bordeaux, Graves is equally respected for its red and white wines. The AOC Graves, which covers both red and white wines, is the catch-all appellation of the district. A typical Graves red is based on the classic Bordeaux grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot sometimes in a supporting role.
The wine region of Bordeaux
Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions in the world. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90% of the production Volume) are the Dry, medium and Full-bodied red Bordeaux blends for which it is famous. The finest (and most expensive) are the wines of the great châteaux of Haut-Médoc and the right bank appellations of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former focuses (at the highest level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter on Merlot.
