Dameron is a traditional French variety of red wine grape that is a sibling of Gamay. Its wines are somewhat weightier than Gamay, but it is disappearing from its traditional areas in northern France. Not much is grown in France these days.

History

DNA fingerprinting has shown that it is one of many grapes to be the result of a cross between Gouais Blanc (Heunisch) and Pinot, making it a full sibling of famous varieties such as Chardonnay and Aligoté. Gouais Blanc was widely grown by the French peasantry in the Medieval ages. This offered lots of opportunities for hybridisation, and the offspring benefited from hybrid vigour as the parents were genetically quite different.

Distribution and Wines

A little is still grown north of Dijon and in the Jura.

Vine and Viticulture

Yields are sporadic thanks to its disease susceptibility.

Dameret Noir, Durbec, Foirard Noir, Gros Bec, Luisant Noir, Noir De Lorraine, Noir Facan, Noirgot, Pinot Rouge, Simoro, Valais Noir, Valdenois, Verdun, Verdunais, Vert Noir[1]
