Auxerrois grape

A white grape often blended with Pinot Blanc in Alsace. Produces soft, round wines with stone fruit and white flower aromas. Confusingly, also a synonym for Malbec in Cahors.

A grape's character depends heavily on soil, climate, clones and winemaking. The notes below offer a general profile; an individual bottle remains the best way to discover a producer's house style.
