Magdeleine Noire des Charentes

The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Madeleina, Madeleine, Magdala, Raisin de la Madeleine and Vigne Suliacaise. Due to its early ripening, the variety was called Madeleine in the Charentes (a common name for vines with this characteristic, especially in France). To avoid confusion with the numerous grape varieties with a similar name, the vine was given the name Magdeleine Noire des Charentes in 2008.

Origin

It was mentioned as early as 1847 under the name Madeleine by the French ampelographer P. Raguenaud. The vine was thought to be extinct when an unknown vine was found in 2004 in an abandoned vineyard in the western French commune of Saint-Suliac on a hill called Mont Garrot near the monastery. Another four vines were discovered in the Charente department, where they were labelled Madeleine. As viticulture in Brittany was abandoned over 200 years ago, these are very old vines.

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.
