Prunelard

The red grape variety originates from France. The name is derived from the dialect word "prunèl" for "plum" due to the shape and colour of the berries. The variety was already described in the 16th century by the agronomist Olivier de Serres (1539-1619). Despite its great age, however, there is only one synonym - Prunelart.

Prunelard - Weintraube und Blatt

Parentage

The parentage is unknown. Nothing is known about a genetic relationship to the Bouysselet variety (synonym Prunelard Blanc). It should not be confused with the varieties Béquignol Noir (Prunelard), Bobal (Prunelar) or Cinsaut (Prunelat) due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.
