    1. from the Beginnings to 1000 Ce

    1. From the Beginnings to 1000 ce As the history of French wine was beginning, about twenty-five hundred years ago, both of the key elements were missing: there was no geographi- cal or political entity called France, and no wine was made on the territory that was to become France. As far as we know, the Celtic populations living there did not produce wine from any of the varieties of grapes that grew wild in many parts of their land, although they might well have eaten them fresh. They did cultivate barley, wheat, and other cereals to ferment into beer, which they drank, along with water, as part of their daily diet. They also fermented honey (for mead) and perhaps other produce. In cultural terms it was a far cry from the nineteenth century, when France had assumed a national identity and wine was not only integral to notions of French culture and civilization but held up as one of the impor- tant influences on the character of the French and the success of their nation. Two and a half thousand years before that, the arbiters of culture and civilization were Greece and Rome, and they looked upon beer- drinking peoples, such as the Celts of ancient France, as barbarians. Wine was part of the commercial and civilizing missions of the Greeks and Romans, who introduced it to their new colonies and later planted vine- yards in them. When they and the Etruscans brought wine and viticulture to the Celts of ancient France, they began the history of French wine.

    Chilean Syrah from a Standing Start, Syrah Has Made It to Number Six in Chile’S Wine Pop Charts in Less Than 20 Years

    PANEL TASTING Chilean Syrah From a standing start, Syrah has made it to number six in Chile’s wine pop charts in less than 20 years. And this could be just the beginning, says Peter Richards MW The sTory of syrah in Chile is not a straightforward one. It’s a tale still in the telling, with a murky past, highs and lows, capped by an uncertain future trajectory. This makes it intriguing, especially given that for some time it has been generating a good deal of excitement among wine lovers in the know. The key thing is that there are many – from drinkers to producers and wine critics alike – who hope that this is one saga with a happy ending. The history of syrah in Chile is a matter of debate. records suggest it may have arrived as early as the first half of the 19th century, in the Quinta Normal nursery project in santiago. Its commercial origins in the country, however, are most commonly attributed to Alejandro Dussaillant, a french immigrant who arrived in Chile in 1874 and planted vineyards in the Curicó region which included ‘gross syrah’. (Though this could equally have been the aromatic savoie variety Mondeuse Noire, which goes under this epithet and, according to Wine Grapes, is a close relative of syrah.) either way, by the early 1990s there was scant trace of syrah in Chile, the theory being that, even if it had been there, it was lost in the agrarian reforms of the 1970s. This started to change in the mid-1990s.
  • Red Winegrape Varieties for Long Island Vineyards

    Red Winegrape Varieties for Long Island Vineyards

    Strengthening Families & Communities • Protecting & Enhancing the Environment • Fostering Economic Development • Promoting Sustainable Agriculture Red Winegrape Varieties for Long Island Vineyards Alice Wise, Extension Educator, Viticulturist, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County February, 2013; rev. March, 2020 Contemplation of winegrape varieties is a fascinating and challenging process. We offer this list of varieties as potential alternative to the red wine varieties widely planted in the eastern U.S. – Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Properly sited and well-managed, these four varieties are capable of producing high quality fruit. Some regions have highlighted one of these varieties, such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc on Long Island and Cabernet Franc in the Finger Lakes. However, many industry members have expressed an interest in diversifying their vineyards. Clearly, there is room for exploration and by doing so, businesses can distinguish themselves from a marketing and stylistic viewpoint. The intent of this article is to introduce a selection of varieties that have potential for Long Island. This is by no means an exhaustive list. These suggestions merit further investigation by the winegrower. This could involve internet/print research, tasting wines from other regions and/or correspondence with fellow winegrowers. Even with a thoughtful approach, it is important to acknowledge that vine performance may vary due to site, soil type and management practices. Fruit quality and quantity will also vary from season to season. That said, a successful variety will be capable of quality fruit production despite seasonal variation in temperature and rainfall. The most prominent features of each variety are discussed based on industry experience, observations and results from the winegrape variety trial at the Long Island Horticultural Research and Extension Center, Riverhead, NY (cited as ‘LIHREC vineyard’).

    Retail Savings $16.99 $30.00 43% NV Jean Vullien Méthode Traditionelle Roséproduct-timed-pdf - Vin de Savoie, France - Only 40 Cases in the U.S. Why We're Drinking It In the far eastern corner of France next to the Alps sits the AOC of Vin de Savoie. Known for their own particular style and even varietals, this is an off-the-beaten-path appellation forward-looking wine lovers go to find that are particularly interesting, and typically difficult to find. Case in point, this gem here: the NV Jean Vullien Méthode Traditionelle Brut Rosé. With only 40 cases imported to the U.S., it's the definition of under-the-radar sparkling rosé that may have otherwise slipped by unnoticed had we not originally tasted it in Paris in a small, private tasting of Savoie. Crafted with a unique blend of 50% Gamay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 20% Mondeuse, it shows bubbles so fine and elegant, it literally has the palate lost – forgetting the fact it was grown outside of Champagne. Leading with a nose that features orange blossoms, candied fruit, and fresh pastries, it transcends the palate with fresh wild strawberries that play against the perfect amount of acidity. Finishing fresh and light, with a hint of ripe cherries, it leaves Sparkling lovers with the sentiment: “the greatest wines are those you don’t fine en masse”. Inside Fact: Mondeuse Noire is a red wine grape that is grown primarily in the Savoy region of France. In Savoie, the grape is used in blending with Gamay, Pinot Noir, and Poulsard where it contributes its dark color and high acid levels to the wine that allow the wines to age well.

  • Blanche = Mondeuse Noire × Viognier Is Rejected by DNA Analysis. in This Case, Viognier Is a Progeny of Mondeuse Blanche and a Half-Sibling of Syrah

    Blanche = Mondeuse Noire × Viognier Is Rejected by DNA Analysis. in This Case, Viognier Is a Progeny of Mondeuse Blanche and a Half-Sibling of Syrah

    Blanche = Mondeuse Noire × Viognier is rejected by DNA analysis. In this case, Viognier is a progeny of Mondeuse Blanche and a half-sibling of Syrah. Conversely, if mondeuse noire is a progeny of mondeuse blanche through a natural cross-pollination with an unknown and probably extinct variety, then Mondeuse Noire is a half- sibling of Syrah (option B on p 1025). In this case, viognier may either be the parent of Mondeuse Blanche, and a grandparent of Syrah and Mondeuse Noire, or Viognier could be a progeny of Mondeuse Blanche as well, and thus a half-sibling of both Mondeuse Noire and Syrah (option C), the other parents of Viognier and Mondeuse Noire being distinct, unknown and probably extinct. As a consequence, Syrah is either a grandchild or a half-sibling of both mondeuse noire and viognier, which explains why Mondeuse Noire was called Grosse Syrah in the Drôme region, and why all four varieties were clustered in the Sérine ampelographic group (see p xxvii; Bisson 2009). syrah’s most complete family tree Keeping in mind that other pedigree reconstructions are theoretically possible for the reasons explained above, we propose the most plausible and comprehensive family tree for Syrah (see diagram 3 below): it is a natural progeny of mondeuse blanche and dureza, a half-sibling of viognier, a grandchild of mondeuse noire, a niece/nephew of teroldego and a great-grandchild of pinot. SYRAH PEDIGREE DIAGRAM 3 The discovery of the natural parents of syrah has put a stop to rumours about its eastern origins, and the family tie with pinot challenges the view that they were introduced independently to Europe.
