Discover the grape variety: Sérénèze de Voreppe
A very old grape variety that was once grown in the Grésivaudan region, and more generally in the Isère Valley from Grenoble to Tullins. It could also be found in Savoie and in the northern part of the Drôme. It should be noted that it was confused for a long time - even today - with the ciréné de Romans with which it shares many synonyms including sérenèze. According to Thierry Lacombe (I.N.R.A./Montpellier), it is the result of a natural intraspecific cross between the white gouais and the chatus. Sérénèze de Voreppe is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties, list A1, under the name Sérénèze.

However the last decade or so has seen considerable progress and expansion, and increases in planting of noble Grape varieties. Significant chaptilzation to off-set the high Acidity of under-ripe grapes was once common practice but since the 1970s and particularly since the turn of the millennium natural sugar levels have increased in the Vineyard and wines have increased in quality and reputation.
