Discover the grape variety: Verdesse
Verdesse is a white grape variety, grown on an area of about 5 ha. It is found particularly in the Grésivaudan and Drac valleys. It is also called verdêche, étraire blanche de Grenoble or verdasse. The leaves are lobed and dark green in colour. Long, sturdy stalks carry the bunches. A juicy and sweet flesh is found under the white skin, turning amber red, of the mature berries. The berries are medium-sized and ellipsoid in shape. To be productive and vigorous, the variety is pruned rather long. Verdesse is not very resistant to mildew and powdery mildew, but it is very resistant to grey rot. A particularly alcoholic wine is produced from this variety. It has a pleasant flavour and a vegetal and floral scent. This wine does not keep long, and is best consumed during the first few years.
