Gaillac (Southwest France)
A small revival is underway among growers restoring this once near-extinct local variety.
Arka plan
Köken ve tarih
Prunelard was once a common sight in Gaillac, a wine region in southwest France with a winemaking history predating Bordeaux's, but phylloxera and shifting fashions reduced it to a mere handful of surviving vines by the mid-20th century. For decades it seemed destined to disappear entirely.
Starting in the 1990s and 2000s, a small number of committed Gaillac growers began propagating and replanting the surviving vines, sparking a modest revival. That revival gained new scientific weight when DNA research identified Prunelard, alongside the equally obscure Magdeleine Noire des Charentes, as one of the two parents of Malbec — giving this once-forgotten grape a genuine claim to viticultural importance.
