Aubin vert

Aubin vert is a white French wine grape variety that is grown in the Jura wine region of eastern France. The grape has a long history in the region, dating back to at least the 18th century, and is known for its high acidity and light-bodied wines.

History

The origins of Aubin vert are not clear, but it is believed to have originated in the Jura region of France. The first documented mention of the grape dates back to the 18th century, when it was noted for its high acidity and light-bodied wines. Despite its long history, Aubin vert has never been widely planted and is now considered a rare variety.

Viticulture

Aubin vert is a late-ripening grape variety that requires a long growing season to fully mature. It is resistant to most vine diseases, but is susceptible to powdery mildew. The grape has small, round berries that are greenish-yellow in color.

Wine production

Aubin vert is used to produce a variety of wines, including dry white wines, sparkling wines, and vin jaune, a traditional Jura wine that is similar to sherry. The grape's high acidity makes it well-suited to sparkling wine production.

Wine styles

Wines made from Aubin vert are typically light-bodied with high acidity. They often have flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus, with mineral and floral notes. When used in the production of vin jaune, the wines can develop complex flavors of nuts, spices, and dried fruits.

Synonyms

Aubin vert is also known under the synonyms Aubin and Vert blanc.
