Gamay de Chaudenay
The red wine variety Gamay de Chaudenay is a dye grape from France . It was first observed in 1832 as a mutation of the Gamay de Bouze variety . She was discovered by JM Bidault in a vineyard in the municipality of Chaudenay in the Saône-et-Loire department . From 1850 he first marketed the variety in the surrounding area and soon in the Loire wine-growing region .
Although it is still approved almost everywhere there, only 183 hectares of planted vineyards were collected in 2007 (source ONIVINS). New vineyards are practically no longer created.
The late-ripening variety is extremely productive. Yields of up to 300 hl / ha are not uncommon. The opacity of the red color is approx. 4 times higher than that of the Cinsault grape variety .
The clones 567 and 568 are approved for cultivation.
