Suitability for cultivation and agronomic production

Téoulier has an erect bearing and can be trained in gobelet and pruned short. Its early budburst exposes it to the risk of spring frosts.
Susceptibility to diseases and pests

Téoulier is fairly susceptible to powdery mildew.
Technological potentiality

The bunches and berries are large. Téoulier produces deep colored wines, but that are lacking finesse and elegance. These wines are generally not very acidic and have an average degree of alcohol.
Clonal selection in France

The only certified Téoulier clone carries the number 1200.
