The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Millardet et Grasset 101 O.P. x Goldriesling (1). Synonyms are Joffre, Kuhlmann 187-1 and Marschall Joffre. 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). Incidentally, the same parents also produced the new varieties Etoile I, Etoile II, Léon Millot, Lucie Kuhlmann, Maréchal Foch and Pinard.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
