Sacy

Sacy in the book by Viala & Vermorel

The white grape variety Sacy is mainly grown in the French department of Yonne . It is said to have been imported from Italy in the 13th century by monks from Reigny Abbey . It also seems to be identical to the Tressallier grape variety . The rather early-ripening variety produces low-acid white wines with a low alcohol content and a light color. The wines cannot be stored.

In France, clones 793, 833 and 965 are approved for growing quality wines. About 67 hectares of the 100 hectares of planted vineyards are in the Yonne department and 33 hectares in the Allier department . The grape variety is permitted in the quality wines Crémant de Bourgogne and Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire as well as in the VDQS wine Saint-Pourçain .

origin

Based on genetic studies of 352 grape varieties in 1998, it turned out that the varieties Aligoté , Aubin Vert , Auxerrois , Bachet Noir , Beaunoir , Chardonnay , Dameron , Franc Noir de la Haute Saône , Gamay Blanc Gloriod , Gamay , Knipperlé , Melon de Bourgogne , Peurion , Romorantin and Roublot , like Sacy, all emerged from spontaneous crosses between Pinot and Gouais Blanc . Since the genetic differences between Pinot Blanc , Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are extremely small, an exact specification of the Pinot type is not yet available.

The success of this spontaneous crossing is explained by the fact that the two parent strains are genetically completely different. While the varieties of the Pinot family presumably come from Burgundy, the Gouais Blanc was brought to France by the Romans. In the vineyards of Burgundy and southern Champagne , both varieties were mixed together for several centuries .

Synonyms

The Sacy grape variety is also available under the names Aligoté Vert, Blanc de Pays, Blanc Moulin, Blanc Vert, Fairené, Fariné, Farinier Blanc, Ferné, Fernet, Ferney, Gros Blanc, Menu Blanc, Peut Blanc, Pivoine, Plant de Sacy, Plant d'Essert, Sassy, ​​Souche, Trezali, Trezari and Weissklemmer known.
