Landot Noir

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Landot Noir is a red wine variety newly bred at the beginning of the 20th century by the French breeder Pierre Landot (1900–1942) . It is a cross between the red Landal Noir variety and the white Villard Blanc . Between 1929 and the beginning of the 1940s, Landot bred a large number of interspecific grape varieties in Conzieu in the Ain department to fight phylloxera . It is an extremely complex breed in which genes from the wild grapes Vitis labrusca , Vitis riparia , Vitis rupestris , Vitis aestivalis , Vitis cinerea , Vitis berlandieri and Vitis vinifera are present. The red wines of the variety are quite strong but have a somewhat unpleasant taste due to the influence of American wild vines (→ Fox tone ).

Due to its early ripeness, the grape variety is found in growing areas with a cool climate. In some growing areas of the United States it is still grown today (→ viticulture in New Jersey , viticulture in Ohio , viticulture in Rhode Island and viticulture in Maryland ).

Synonym: Breeding line number 4.511 Landot.

Parentage: Landal Noir (vulgo 244 Landot) x Villard Blanc (vulgo Seyve Villard 12.375). Seyve Villard 12.375 is itself a cross between the Seibel 6468 x Seibel 6905 (→ Le Subéreux ) varieties .

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

The late growing grape variety ripens approx. 5 - 6 days after the Gutedel and is therefore early ripening within the red grape varieties, so that it can ripen in cool locations. The variety is sensitive to drought and anthracnose . In addition, it tends to trickle down .
