The red grape variety (also Couderc 1) is an interspecific new variety between (Lincecumii x Riparia) x Pinot. It contains genes from Vitis lincecumii, Vitis riparia and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in France at the beginning of the 20th century by the private breeder Georges Couderc (1850-1928). However, the variety no longer plays a role today; no stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
