Moselle valley in eastern France.History
DNA fingerprinting has shown that Aubin is the result of a cross betweenGouais Blanc andSavagnin . Originally from Croatia, Gouais was brought to Northern France by the Romans and is a parent ofChardonnay andAubin Vert among others. The nut-flavoured Savagnin makesvin jaune in the Jura and is probably a clone of Traminer, the parent of Alsace'sGewürztraminer .Distribution and Wines
Aubin Blanc is only found blended into wines from the
Côtes de Toul appellation in Lorraine.Vine and Viticulture
There's usually a reason why grapes like this are in decline. The Traminer family are notoriously difficult to grow, with poor disease resistance and low yields.
