Chasan (grape variety)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chasan is a white wine variety . It is a new breed between the Listán (Palomino) x Chardonnay varieties . The crossing was made by the French ampelographer Paul Truel in the Domaine de Vassal, a branch of the Institut National de la Recherche en Agronomie of the University of Montpellier . The name Chasan is made up of parts of the words from his parents. The early ripening variety (3–4 days after the Gutedel ) has been around since 1981 with the exception of AlsaceApproved throughout France, but is only grown on a small scale in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the Aude department , after which the variety was quite successful in the 1980s with a planted area of ​​1,054 hectares . In 2007 a vineyard area of ​​862 hectares was raised.

The high-yielding variety produces slightly aromatic wines with a medium alcohol content. However, the white wine lacks the necessary acidity to develop a certain elegance. In addition, the wine tends to oxidize prematurely and should therefore be drunk very early after aging.

Clone 538 is approved for commercial cultivation in France .
