RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Widespread

Couderc noir is a red wine hybrid grape that was formerly grown primarily in the South West France wine region and around the Gard département in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The vine produces high yields and ripens late, creating a wine that is deeply colored with a distinct, earthy flavor. Couderc noir is normally used for mass commercial and table wines. It has a tendency to bud early and ripen late producing small, compact bunches that have a very low skin to juice ratio..
