Vignoles
Vignoles is a white wine variety bred at the beginning of the 20th century by the French breeder Jean François Ravat . It is a cross between Seibel 6905 and Pinot Noir. It is an extremely complex breed in which genes from the wild grapes Vitis rupestris , Vitis aestivalis , Vitis cinerea and Vitis vinifera are present.
Ravat was a mining engineer and began in 1929 near Marcigny near the Burgundy with the new breed of vines.
Since Vignoles is a hybrid vine , cultivation was banned in the EU in the 1950s and may only be cultivated in experimental cultivation. The variety, on the other hand, is found on the North American east coast in the US states New York ( Finger Lakes ), Missouri (→ Viticulture in Missouri ), North Carolina (→ Viticulture in North Carolina ), Pennsylvania (→ Viticulture in Pennsylvania ), New Jersey (→ Viticulture in New Jersey ) and Michigan (→ Viticulture in Michigan ). It is mainly used for sparkling wines . The susceptibility to gray mold rot enables the production of sweet wines with noble rot even when fully ripe .
