Blanc lady

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blanc Dame is an old white grape that is grown in the Sud-Ouest wine-growing region in southwest France . It is in the department Gers and Pyrénées-Atlantiques for commercial viticulture approved, but is rarely used. In 1998, a planted vineyard area of ​​only 9 hectares was raised. In Sud-Ouest, the variety is often in a mixed set and is also used as a table grape .

The white wines are light and very simple. The grape variety plays a subordinate role in the production of Armagnac .

One clone, number 1111, has so far been released for viticulture. A study published in 2007 shows that the Blanc Dame grape variety is genetically related to the Folle Blanche grape variety .

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is hairy white, with a carmine-red tinge. The yellowish young leaves are spotted bronze (anthocyanin spots)
  • The large leaves are unbuilt or moderately five-lobed (see also the article leaf shape ). The stem bay is slightly open or closed. The leaf margin is bluntly serrated. The large teeth are set wide compared to other grape varieties. The leaf surface (also called blade) is blistered and rough.
  • The conical to cylindrical grape is large, shouldered and dense berries. The round or slightly elliptical berries are medium-sized. They are whitish-yellow in color when fully ripe.

The Blanc Dame grape variety ripens around 20 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen at an international level for a grape variety. The variety is considered to be of moderate growth. It 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.

Synonyms

The Blanc Dame grape variety is also known under the names Blanc Madame, Blanquette, Blanquette grise, Clairette de Gascogne, Claret, Claret de Gascogne, La Claréto, Lou Claret and Sémillon des Charentes.
