St. Laurent - grape and leaf

Origin

The place St. Laurent in Médoc has no connection, as the ampelographer Victor Vermorel Victor (1848-1927) suspected. Presumably, St. Laurent is derived from St. Laurentius and its feast day on August 10 and refers to the Ripening. The nursery Baumann in the Alsatian Bollwiller introduced the variety from Austria in the early 19th century in Alsace. The German wine pioneer Johann Philipp Bronner Johann (1792-1864) brought it from France to Germany in the mid-19th century. Therefore, Alsace is also mentioned as a possible origin.
