Léon Millot

The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Millardet et Grasset 101 O.P. x Goldriesling (1). Synonyms are 194-2 K, 194-2 Kuhlmann, Frühe Schwarze, Kuhlmann 194-2 and Millot. It contains genes from Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1911 at the Oberlin Institute in Colmar-Alsace by grower Eugène Kuhlmann (1858-1932). The variety was named in honour of the president of the Société vosgienne de viticulture et d'ampélographie, Léon Millot (1881-1960).
