Franc Noir de la Haute-Saône

The red grape variety comes from France. Synonyms are Franc Noir de Cendrecourt, Franc Noir de Gy, Franc Noir de Jussey, Franc Noir de Venere, Gougenot, Gougenot Saône and Plant Jacquot. Around 1845 it was strongly propagated in the Haute-Saône department by the teacher Gougenot, from which part of the name and a synonym are derived. According to DNA analyses carried out in 1999, it is one of the many presumably natural crosses between Gouais Blanc x Pinot. The early maturing vine produces dark red wines. It is cultivated in small stocks in the Département Aube in the south of Champagne. In 2016, however, no stock was recorded (statistics Kym Anderson).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
