Claverie

The white grape variety originates from France. Synonyms include Bouguieu, Chalosse Blanche, Chaloussenc, Clabarien, Claberia, Claberien, Clabérieu, Claverie Blanc, Claverie Verte, Galia Xuria, Galia Zuria, and Grüner Langstieler. The parentage is unknown. There is also a color mutation Claverie Noire. Claverie Coulard is a distinct variety. The Claverie variety was first mentioned in 1827 in the Département Landes. In the 19th century, Claverie wines were very popular in Holland and the variety was widespread. The late-ripening vine is susceptible to Botrytis, true mildew, and anthracnose. It produces high-alcohol, acid-driven white wines with a neutral taste. It is permitted in southwest France in the Tursan area. The variety is endangered, as in 2016 less than one hectare of vineyard area was recorded (Kym Anderson). Source: Wine Grapes / J. Robinson, J. Harding, J.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
