Gamay de Bouze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gamay de Bouze is a red wine from France that is used as a dye grape . Their parentage is unknown. From 1823 Caumartin marketed the variety from Russilly , first in the surrounding area in the Saône-et-Loire department and soon in the Loire wine-growing region and in the Côte Chalonnaise in Burgundy . Although it is still approved almost everywhere there, only 232 hectares of planted vineyards were collected in 2007 (source ONIVINS). New vineyards are practically no longer created.

The late-ripening variety is only marginally more productive than a normal Gamay . The opacity of the red color is approx. 1.3 times higher than that of the Cinsault grape variety . The clones 223 and 431 are approved for cultivation . Mutation resulted in the varieties Gamay de Chaudenay and Gamay Fréaux .

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is slightly woolly hairy with a carmine-red tinge. The bronze-colored to red young leaves are only hairy cobwebs and are very shiny.
  • The small leaves are three-lobed and slightly cupped. The stem bay is lyren-shaped open. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth are set medium-wide in comparison to the grape varieties. The leaves turn reddish in autumn. The leaf surface (also called the leaf blade) is blistered and rough.
  • The cylindrical grape is medium in size. The oval berries are small and blue-black in color. The juice of the berries is slightly reddish in color.

The grape variety that sprouts early ripens about 5 days after the Gutedel and is therefore very early ripening within the red grape varieties, so that it can mature in relatively cool locations. The yield is high. The variety is hardy but it is endangered by late frost due to its early budding.
