Aubin Blanc

Aubin Blanc is an indigenous white grape variety of the Lorraine region of France. The early maturing variety produces wines of rather ordinary quality, and is therefore hardly to be found. In the Appellation Côtes de Toul it is one of the approved varieties. Smaller experimental plantings are known in Canada. Aubin Blanc originated from a spontaneous crossing of savagnin and Gouais Blanc and is therefore very closely related to the variety Petit Meslier.

Ethnicity: savagnin x Gouais Blanc
