Peloursin

Peloursin is an autochthonous red grape variety of the Isère Valley and is now grown in small quantities in south-eastern France, California and Australia . It is interesting because the common variety Durif arose from a cross between Peloursin and Syrah .

The large number of synonyms can be explained by their earlier distribution in Savoie and in the Franche-Comté department . In France, the variety has almost completely died out. Officially, around 0.59 hectares of vineyards were still raised at the end of the 1990s .
