Narrative

Per Galet (see citation): "Growing tip: downy, white. Young leaves: cobwebby, bronze patches lobed. Leaf: orbicular 136-3-46; deeply lobed 54 with narrow sinuses; faintly cobwebby below; petiolar sinus lyre-shaped; teeth convex, narrow. Shoot: glabrous, clear green with brown streaks; tendrils small, thin. Cluster: medium, cylindrical, fairly compact; berries small, black, round or slightly oval, pulpy. This variety came from a seed or selection of Peloursin and was propagated around 1880 by Dr. Durif. It is not at all a Pinot and its name 'Plant Fourchu' comes from the prescence of numerous fasciated shoots (generally an indication of virus disease). Considered by some to have a resistance to downy mildew, it was fairly widely planted. However, the wine is ordinary and Durif is now authorized in only a few departments. There exist a Durif gris and a Durif blanc." Information taken from http://www.wineloverspage.com/wineguest/wgg.html: Well known variety grown in France, California and Australia. A recent DNA analysis report (Meredith C.P., et al., "Am.J. Enol. Vitic." 50(3):23642-1999) shows this variety is possibly a cross between a seedling of Peloursin and the Syrah varieties. The recent discovery that the Petite Sirah variety extensively planted in California is identical to, and so is a synonym name for, the subject cultivar was complicated by the use of accessions from vineyards with the most reliable planting records which made it appear that the latter variety may also have been one of several vine plantings of Durif are currently (1997) found, and used to produce popular wine, in the Rutherglen (N.E. Victoria) region of Australia."
