Alphonse-Lavallée in the book by Viala & Vermorel

The red wine variety Alphonse-Lavallée is a new breed between the grape varieties Kharistvala Kolkhuri (syn. Gros Colman) x Muscat Hamburg. The earlier assumption that Alphonse-Lavallée was a cross between Bellino x Lady Downe's Seedling could not be confirmed. It was named after Pierre Alphonse Martin Lavallée , the then President of the Société d'Horticulture de France . The crossing took place, according to Pierre Galet around the year 1860 in the French city of Orléans .

It is used as a table grape ; the area covered with trees worldwide ( Argentina , Australia , Austria , Chile (4,816 hectares, as of 2006), Canada , Germany , France (886 hectares, as of 2007), India, Turkey , South Africa ) is around 10,000 hectares . In Belgium it was successfully grown in greenhouses for a long time.

It is susceptible to trickling and fungal diseases ( powdery mildew , downy mildew of the grapevine , gray mold rot ) and not very hardy. The vine is very productive and produces grapes with a relatively neutral taste. It ripens about 3 weeks after the Gutedel grape variety and is therefore considered to ripen moderately late. Alphonse Lavallée is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.

In California (→ Viticulture in California ) and South America, the grape variety is usually called Ribier or Ribier Noir . In France, however, there is also an independent grape variety Ribier that is not related.

Approved Clones: 319-797-798-799-857.

The variety was a cross-breeding partner in the Cardinal new breed . See also the list of grape varieties .
