Pinot Noir Précoce

The Pinot is a separate variety that originated by natural mutation of the Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir ).

Appearance

The Frühburgunder reaches maturity about two weeks earlier than the Pinot Noir, hence the name. This makes it almost never of gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) affected, which may adversely affect the color of the Pinot Noir. The berries of the Early Burgundy are smaller than those of the Pinot Noir. Many flavorings sit in the bowl of grapes. As for smaller berries, the ratio of shell to the rest of the berry is thus larger and the yield is also lower, the Frühburgunder brings often more velvety and richer wines produced than his brother.

Due to its early maturity of Frühburgunder was often used as a crossing partner of new varieties. Together with the Trollinger was the variety Helfensteiner and find yourself on the seedling précoce Muscat de Saumur his genes in the varieties Riesling Gold and Pearl of Csaba.
