Paul Truel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Truel (born April 27, 1924 in Paris , † January 10, 2014 in Millau ) was one of the world's leading experts on ampelography in France .

Life

Truel studied at the University of Montpellier École nationale supérieure agronomique de Montpellier (ENSAM) . Pierre Galet was in charge of the viticulture chair . Truel shared with Galet the expertise and enthusiasm for identifying grape varieties based on their phenotype . In the years of his activity as the person responsible for the collection of grape varieties at the branch of the Institut national de la recherche agronomique "Domaine de Vassal", he was trend-setting in the field of ampelography. As a determination expert , he is listed in the collection and freely accessible publications of information on the grape varieties of the "INRA Unité expérimentale du Domaine de Vassal".

As a renowned ampelographer, Truel established a worldwide network for the determination of grape varieties, even beyond political borders. Research trips took him to Australia, Portugal and the Ukraine, where he assessed the identity of the grape varieties there based on their phenotype. This enabled him to clear up and correct some incorrect names, such as the crouchen or canari . He was instrumental in the determination of Roussette d'Ayze , Alarije , Bouillet , Abouriou , Ondenc , Muscadelle . He also made plant material available to research partners of the institute for breeding and research purposes. For example, Négrette for the University of California, Davis .
