The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Millardet et Grasset 101-14 S.P. (Riparia x Rupestris ) x Goldriesling (1). Synonyms are Kuhlmann 149-3 and Lucy Kuhlmann. Genes of Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included. The hybrid was crossed in 1911 at the Oberlin Institute in Colmar-Alsace by the French breeder Eugène Kuhlmann (1858-1932), who named it after his wife. Incidentally, the same parents also produced the new varieties Etoile I, Etoile II, Léon Millot, Maréchal Foch, Maréchal Joffre and Pinard. The very early ripening vine is moderately resistant to frost, as well as to fungal diseases in general. It produces dark-coloured, strong red wines with herbal aromas. The variety is grown in small quantities in France, as well as in Canada in the areas of Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec. In 2016, 21 hectares of vines were reported (Kym Anderson statistics).

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.
