Chardonnay the Versatile Grape Chardonnay History
Chardonnay The Versatile Grape Chardonnay History • Originating in the Burgundy region, has been grown in France for at least 1,200 years. • Chardonnay is believed to have been named after a village of the same name in the French Mâconnais area in southern Burgundy. It comes from the Latin cardonaccum, meaning “place full of thistles.” • Chardonnay is a genetic cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, an obscure grape variety believed to have originated in Croatia, and transported to France by the Romans. • Chardonnay is probably made into more different styles of wine than any other grape. A White Wine That Breaks the Rules of White Wine Most White Wine… Chardonnay… • Contains residual sugar for a hint • Usually fermented bone dry. of sweetness. • Sometimes put through malolactic • Malolactic fermentation is avoided fermentation to reduce acidity and to bring out fruit flavor and enhance buttery qualities. freshness. • Often aged in oak barrels. • Aged in stainless steel tanks. Fun Facts & Trivia • Chardonnay is believed to be the second biggest white grape grown world-wide, when measured by acreage. In first place is ‘Airén’, a fairly obscure white grape grown extensively in central Spain. Airen is grown without irrigation in a very dry region, so vines are spaced far apart, and yields are very low. If measured by tonnage or bottles produced, Chardonnay would be the leader by far. • Chardonnay has been grown in Italy for a long time (although often confused with Pinot Blanc). In 2000, it was Italy’s 4th most widely planted white grape variety! • Gouais Blanc, one of the parents of Chardonnay, is sometimes referred to as the “Casanova” of grape varieties. -
Coteaux Bourguignons Gamay
SUPPLE AND LUMINOUS RED WINE Coteaux Bourguignons Gamay TASTING NOTES Visual: Brilliant red colour with ruby glints. Nose: Intense bouquet of red and black fruit berries (blackberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant). Palate: Straightforward, juicy and loaded with red fruit. It has a supple and nicely layered texture with nuances of soft spices. WINE AND FOOD PAIRING To accompany dishes such as roast poultry, white meat, charcuterie. For family occasions we typically serve it with sausage baked in brioche. Serving temperature: 14-16°C. WINEMAKING AND MATURING Grape variety: Gamay. Vinification: Manual harvest followed by traditional, semi-carbonic fermentation. Maturing: In stainless steel tanks to capture the aromatic freshness. THE TERROIR Officially created in 2011, the Appellation Coteaux Bourguignons forms a family of red, white and rosé wines produced from all regions within Greater Bourgogne, thus including the Auxerrois, the Côtes de Nuits and the Côtes de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise, the Mâconnais and even into the Beaujolais region. DID YOU KNOW? Wines with the label AOC Coteaux Bourguignons can be produced from the different grape varieties grown in the Greater Bourgogne region; either in a blend or as a single variety (monocépage). For red and rosé wines the main varieties are Pinot Noir and Gamay but we also find César in vineyards around Auxerre. The main varieties for making white wine are Chardonnay, Aligoté, Melon de Bourgogne, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. vincod.com/VVK98E The legendary little knight character that appears on our bottles and on all our branding truly captures the essence of La Burgondie. Courageous, confident and loyal. We are a forward-thinking, like-minded group of individuals who are fiercely proud of our Burgundian roots, our beautiful region and our wines. -
Schildknecht
Down from the Niche: How can a soft-spoken grape raise its voice in the marketplace? David Schildknecht Talk at the Spatium Pinot Blanc, 2018 Revered sponsors and guests: The honor of speaking to you gives me great pleasure. But I take even greater pleasure in knowing that there exists such a thing as a Spatium Pinot Blanc, and accordingly I’d like to thank all of those responsible for the genesis of this event and its perpetuation. How can we help Pinot Blanc down from its largely overlooked niche? Or perhaps I should first consider whether such a helping-down is even desirable? The concept of a “niche” surfaces regularly in conversations with Pinot Blanc winegrowers, but often in a positive context. Asked, for instance, how he pictures the future of Pinot Blanc in his winery after forty-four years of efforts on its behalf, Traisental vintner Ludwig Neumayer replies affectionately that Weissburgunder will retain “the status of a very exquisite niche grape variety.” I can completely concur with “exquisite.” Shouldn’t that suffice? Maybe I just have a bug up my ass because this niche-existence offends my sense of justice. To quote my colleague Ian d’Agata: “Only rarely does Pinot Grigio reach the levels of refinement that Pinot Bianco is capable of“. And yet Pinot Gris – largely precisely as Pinot Grigio – is familiar to every wine lover the world over. Jason Lett of Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon is of the opinion that the tiny amounts of Pinot Blanc that he and a few of his winegrowing neighbors in the Willamette Valley produce “are not successful commercially because it’s too hard to differentiate the variety in people’s minds from Pinot Gris.” My own bottom line is: Having once been convinced by my palate of the virtues and superb potential of Pinot Blanc, I won’t permit myself to be dissuaded from acting as a megaphone in the service of this by nature soft-spoken grape. -
A Molecular Marker Set Combining a Retrotransposon Insertion and SSR Polymorphisms Is Useful for Assessing Diversity in Vitis
Received: 17 August 2020 y Accepted: 11 May 2021 y Published: 25 June 2021 DOI:10.20870/oeno-one.2021.55.2.4473 A molecular marker set combining a retrotransposon insertion and SSR polymorphisms is useful for assessing diversity in Vitis Frédérique Pelsy, Lucie Bevilacqua, Sophie Blanc and Didier Merdinoglu Université de Strasbourg, INRAE, SVQV UMR-A 1131, F-68000 Colmar, France *corresponding author: [email protected] Associate editor: Laurent Jean-Marie Torregrosa ABSTRACT Molecular markers, based on DNA polymorphisms, are useful tools for identifying individuals, establishing phylogenetic relationships, managing collections of genetic material or assisting breeding. In the present study, we developed a marker set to differentiate Vitis species, grapevine varieties or clones belonging to the same variety. This novel marker set combines, in four PCR amplifications, the presence/absence of a remarkable retrotransposon, Tvv1-Δ3460, inserted at its single locus and the SSR polymorphism present within its two LTRs. By studying a collection of Vitaceae accessions, we showed the prevalence of two allelic forms of Tvv1-Δ3460 - one of which was partially truncated - in Vitis species. Out of the twenty-five studiedVitis species, the insertion of a Tvv1-Δ3460 element was detected in twenty, including Vitis vinifera. The homozygous vs heterozygous state of the element insertion was determined by amplifying the empty site. Additionally, each Tvv1-Δ3460 LTRs included a microsatellite sequence useful for designing markers based on LTR length. The LTR-SSR markers distinguished most of the fifty-two cultivars and revealed polymorphism within five of the seven varieties studied.

Pinot Pedigree Diagram
PINOT PEDIGREE DIAGRAM No fewer than 156 western European grape varieties make up this huge pedigree of natural crosses, with savagnin, gouais blanc and pinot playing the major roles. Given the number of varieties that are currently unknown (?), this pedigree is just one of the possible interpretations of all direct parent–offspring relationships that have been discovered by DNA parentage analyses (Pinot and teroldego, which have a grandparent–grandchild relationship, are included to illustrate the unexpected link between Pinot and syrah). It strongly challenges the commonly assumed independent origins of western European varieties and argues in favour of a small core set of founder varieties that have given birth through natural crosses to the significant biodiversity we know today. For the sake of clarity, trebbiano toscano and folle blanche appear twice in the diagram. Gatefold_Pinot.indd 1 23/07/2012 15:10 ? Gänsfüsser ? Chatus ? César ? ? ? Pougnet Sérénèze Furmint ?
