Joubertin

The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Jaubertin, Pinot Joubertin, Plant d'Aix, Plant de la Claye and Plant de la Mure. It was discovered and selected around 1835 by the eponymous winegrower Joubertin in a vineyard in the commune of La Claye near Grenoble. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it is probably a natural cross between Persan x Peloursin. However, an analysis carried out in 2021 could not confirm the father variety. The early-ripening, high-yielding vine produces deep, dark red wines that are used as a colouring blend. The variety used to be widespread in Savoy and was also planted in Burgundy until the outbreak of the phylloxera plague in the 1870s. Today it is only cultivated in small quantities in the Savoie region, where it is permitted in the Vin de Savoie. There are also small populations in Argentina. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
