Aubin blancAubin blanc is a white wine grape from the upper reaches of the Moselle valley in eastern France.HistoryDNA fingerprinting has shown that Aubin is the result of a cross between Gouais blanc and Savagnin. Gouais blanc was widely grown by the French peasantry in the Medieval age, and it is a parent of Chardonnay and Aubin vert among others. Savagnin is common in Jura wine, and is a variety in the Traminer family which also includes Gewürztraminer.ViticultureThere'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.Wine regionsAubin blanc is only found blended into wines from the Côtes de Toul appellation in Lorraine.SynonymsAlbin Blanc, Aneb ben Cadi, Aubin, Blanc de Magny, Gros Vert de Crenay
