Discover the grape variety: Bourrisquou
A very old grape variety cultivated in the Ardèche, almost unknown in other French wine regions and even less so in other countries. Its origin seems to be Spanish, as are its presumed parents. It is said to be the result of a natural intra-specific crossing between the heben or white gibi and the mourvèdre. Today, it is practically no longer multiplied and is therefore in danger of extinction.
