Discover the grape variety: Couderc 13
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple mouthfeel and moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Productive. Now marginal, surviving in a few French varietal collections as a witness to post-phylloxera hybridisation history. French white hybrid obtained by Georges Couderc in the late 19th century, in the lineage of phylloxera-resistant crossings.
