The white grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Béquignol Rosé, Chauche Gris, Gray Riesling, Grey Riesling, Gris de Salces and Terret d'Afrique. It is a somatic mutation with reddish berries of the red variety Trousseau Noir. Nothing is known about a possible relationship to the Ondenc variety (with synonym Trousseau Gris). No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
