Aspiran Bouschet
Aspiran Bouschet is a red wine variety . It was bred in 1865 by Henri Bouschet from the varieties Gros Bouschet (himself a cross between the varieties Aramon and Teinturier du Cher) and aspiran . In France it hardly plays a role with around 3 hectares of vineyards. In Argentina, small populations are also known in the Mendoza region.
It is mainly used as a dye grape and thus gives the blends more color. Aspiran Bouschet, like most grape varieties, is monoecious . In seed plants, monoeye denotes the presence of female and male flowers on a plant. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to plant any male plants that produce yield is avoided.
Synonyms Aspiran-Bouschet, Aspirant Bouchet, Aspirant Bouschet, Aspiran Bouson, Grand Noir de Laques (in the Lot department).
