Auxerrois
I include Auxerrois in two varieties. First, as the a.k.a. of the black grape Malbec in the Cahors region, and secondly as a white grape from Alsace. Further obfuscation occurs when one considers the Auxerrois Gris, a synonym for Pinot Gris and Auxerrois Blanc as Chardonnay’s label in the Moselle region.
Malbec as Auxerrois, or Cot is a contributor to Cahors and is responsible for some rustic, full flavored red wine. Tannat and Merlot are allowed but no more than 30% of the final blend.
Auxerrois in Alsace is a hidden white grape, rarely appearing on a wine label, it does yeoman duty as filler for Pinot Blanc and Edelzwicker, the white blend. , Cheers, CS.
