Terret noir

Terret noir is a dark-skinned French wine grape variety grown primarily in the Rhône valley region of France.

It is a mutation of the old Vitis vinifera vine Terret.

Terret noir produces a light color wine that is perfumed and tart.

[2] In 2007, there were 189 hectares (470 acres) of Terret noir in France.

[3] This was a steep decline from the 400 ha (1000 acres) plantings that the Institut national de l'origine et de la qualité (INAO) reported in 2000.
