Jurancon-Noir Description
Origin: Southwest France
History: Jurançon Noir is a relatively rare French grape variety used in the production of various IGP reds and rosés. It is grown throughout southwestern France, particularly in Lavilledieu, Estaing, and Entraygues-Le Fel. Confusingly, Jurançon Noir is not grown in the Jurançon wine region and bears no relation to Jurançon Blanc. The variety is a natural crossing of Folle Blanche and Malbec, first mentioned in 1839. In the mid-20th century, Jurançon Noir was relatively widely grown in France, but by the turn of the new century, the total acreage planted had significantly decreased.
Appearance: Medium-sized clusters of dark-skinned grapes.
Growing Traits: Jurançon Noir is a medium-maturing, high-yielding variety that is susceptible to botrytis bunch rot, requiring careful vineyard management. It produces light-colored red wines with moderate alcohol content and violet aromas, which are more suitable for rosé wines.
