Maréchal Foch

The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Millardet et Grasset 101-14 (Riparia x Rupestris) open-pollinated x Goldriesling (1). Synonyms are Foch, Kuhlmann 188-2, Marschall Foch and Marshal Fosh. It contains genes from Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed at the beginning of the 20th century at the Oberlin Institute in Colmar-Alsace by grower Eugène Kuhlmann (1858-1932). The same parents also produced the new varieties Etoile I, Etoile II, Léon Millot, Lucie Kuhlmann, Maréchal Joffre and Pinard. Maréchal Foch was a crossing partner of the new varieties Cabernet Foch, Millot-Foch and Sovereign Opal.
