Chenanson

The red grape variety is a new breed between Grenache Noir (Garnacha Tinta) x Jurançon Noir. Synonyms are Chenason, Chenançon, Pineau Gros, Shenanson, and Vaalblaar Stein. The crossing took place in 1958 in France by the ampelographer Paul Truel (1924-2014) on behalf of the INRA at the Domaine de Vassal. By the way, the variety Ganson also originated from the same parents. The medium ripening, high-yielding vine produces dark-colored, fruity red wines with soft tannins. It is grown in southern France in the departments of Aude, Gard, Hérault, and Vaucluse on a total of 451 hectares. Small cultivation areas exist in the Spanish Penedès as well as in Australia in the Riverina area with 1.5 hectares. In 2016, 452 hectares of vineyard area were reported (Kym Anderson).
