Aubin Vert

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aubin Vert is an autochthonous white grape variety from the Grand Est region in France . The early ripening variety produces wines of a rather simple quality and is therefore rarely found. The smallest stands (approx. 0.40 hectares ) can still be found in the communes of Bulligny , Bruley , Pagney and Rozérieulles in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department . At the beginning of the 20th century, stocks were still reported in the municipalities of Thiaucourt-Regniéville , Euvezin and Magny .

Aubin vert 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.

origin

A wide-ranging DNA analysis carried out by Carole Meredith in 1999 with 352 grape varieties suggests that the Aubin vert variety is a natural cross between the Pinot and Gouais Blanc varieties. The same research showed that the varieties Aligoté , Auxerrois , Bachet Noir , Beaunoir , Chardonnay , Dameron , Franc Noir de la Haute Saône , Gamay Blanc Gloriod , Gamay , Knipperlé , Melon de Bourgogne , Peurion , Romorantin , Roublot and Sacy are similar like Aubin Vert, all emerged from spontaneous crossings between Pinot and Gouais Blanc. Since the genetic differences between Pinot Blanc , Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are extremely small, an exact specification of the Pinot type is not yet available.

The success of this spontaneous crossing is explained by the fact that the two parent strains are genetically completely different. While the varieties of the Pinot family presumably come from Burgundy, the Gouais Blanc was brought to France by the Romans. In the vineyards of Burgundy and southern Champagne, both varieties were mixed together for several centuries .

Origin: Pinot × Gouais Blanc .

Synonyms
