Bouteillan noir is a red

color mutation of Bouteillan noir but research conducted by Linda Bisson of the University of California, Davis shows that while the two grapes are likely related, one is not a color mutation of the other.[1]

History

The Vaucluse region where Bouteillan noir was noted to be widely planted in the early 18th century.

Bouteillan noir has been recorded in several documents of the 18th and 19th century as being one of the grape varieties that was being grown the Vaucluse region and at some point the variety made its way south into the greater Provence region. The earliest mention of the grape was in 1715 where an unknown commentator noted that Bouteillan noir was more commonly found than other grape varieties such as Rians, Pertuis, Cadenet and Cucuron.[1] Today, besides Bouteillan noir, only Cadenet blanc is a recognized variety or synonym by the Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC).[2]

Viticulture

Bouteillan noir is a late

botrytis bunch rot and powdery mildew.[1]

Relationship to other grapes

Despite sharing several synonyms, Bouteillan noir has no known relationship to the Provençal wine grape Calitor (pictured).

Ampelographers believe that Bouteillan noir is closely related to Provençal grape Colombaud but unlike Pinot blanc/Pinot noir and Grenache blanc/Grenache, the two grapes are distinct varieties and not color mutations of one or the other. Despite sharing several synonyms with the Languedoc grape Aramon and the Provençal grape Calitor, Bouteillan noir has no known relationship with either variety.[1]

Styles

As the grape is virtually extinct, apart from some plantings in

alcohol levels.[1]
