Early-ripening and extremely cold-hardy. Grown in Canada (Québec, Ontario) and the north-eastern USA for harsh continental climates. Synonym for Léon Millot, a French black hybrid obtained in 1911 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace.

The wine region of Chalone
First AVA of Monterey County (1982), 8,640 acres at 1,800 ft in the Gabilan Mountains: California's only AVA on Burgundy-comparable limestone. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir signature varieties (~100 acres each) — Chardonnay with stone fruit, lemon curd and toasted hazelnut, wet stone minerality and saline chalky texture from limestone. Elegant structured Pinot Noir. Decomposed granite, 50°F thermal amplitude, 12-14 in rainfall, rare mineral identity.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Bitter
Normal for certain young red wines rich in tannin, bitterness is in other cases a defect due to a bacterial disease.
