Bourrisquou

The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Bourrignou, Bourriscou, Bourrisquou de Romanet, Bourrisquou de Romani, Mourrisquou de Romani and Romanet. It was found in 1887 by a winegrower in the forest near the commune of Vogüé in the department of Ardèche/Rhône in south-east France.

Ancestry

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Hebén x Monastrell. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). It was used by grower Georges Couderc (1850-1928) for the breeding of rootstocks, for example Passepartout.
