French white hybrid variety obtained in the early 20th century by Bertille Seyve, in the lineage of phylloxera-resistant crossings.

The wine region of Santa Clara Valley
Historic Bay Area AVA south of San Francisco (23 grape varieties): signature Cabernet Sauvignon dominant as red king on warm hillsides — structured concentrated reds with ripe dark fruits, firm tannins. Heritage Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, spicy and fleshy. Also Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Chardonnay. Revival around Italian grapes (Sangiovese, Barbera, Nebbiolo).
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: Reserve wine (champagne)
Older wines, kept in vats or aged in wood in some houses, or kept in magnums at Bollinger. A small percentage of these wines are used in the blending of non-vintage wines in order to bring greater aromatic complexity.
