Gamay Blanc Gloriod

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gamay Blanc Gloriod is a white wine that in 1895 in Gy within the departments of Haute-Saone in France was found. The gardener Émile Gloriod discovered them and the Ampelograph Pulliat assigned them more intuitively to the Gamay. Pierre Galet, on the other hand, recognized similarities with the Melon de Bourgogne variety. Today we know that both should be proved right.

The variety never played a major role in viticulture . It is not listed as a recommended or approved variety in any appellation in France .

origin

Based on genetic studies of 352 grape varieties in 1998, it turned out that the varieties Aligoté , Aubin Vert , Auxerrois , Bachet Noir , Beaunoir , Chardonnay , Dameron , Franc Noir de la Haute Saône , Gamay , Knipperlé , Melon de Bourgogne , Peurion , Romorantin , Roublot and Sacy , like Gamay Blanc Gloriod, all emerged from spontaneous crosses 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 .

Lineage: Pinot x Gouais Blanc
