Descriptive elements

<p>Only the principal ampelographic elements enabling the varieties to be characterised and identified are provided. They are presented according to the descriptor code recognised by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), the Community Plant Variety Office (OCVV) and Bioversity International (for more information, see the <a href="/en/vocabulaire">"Ampelographic glossary"</a> menu).<br>
The photographs of leaves and grapes were taken in natural conditions, on the vine, in very similar situations in terms of growing conditions (sandy soil, Mediterranean coast):</p>
<ul>
<li>Domaine de l'Espiguette (IFV), Le Grau du Roi (Gard),</li>
<li>Domaine de Vassal (INRAE), Marseillan (Hérault),</li>
<li>La Gaillarde Campus (Institut Agro | Montpellier SupAgro), Montpellier (Hérault).</li>
</ul>
<p>Only a few photographs, including the tips of bunches, were taken in other conditions.</p>

The identification is based on:
- the tip of the young shoot with a high density of prostrate hairsand a piping distribution of anthocyanin coloration,
- the circular adult leaves, with five lobes, shallow lateral sinuses, a slightly open petiole sinus or with slightly overlapping lobes with opposing edges towards the lower side, short teeth with convex sides, no or a weak anthocyanin coloration of veins, a twisted, slightly goffered, very blistered and folded near the petiole sinus leaf blade, and on the lower side of the leaves, a low to medium density of prostrate hairs,
- the ellipsoid berries.

Phenology

<p>The growth stages indicated are the result of obsrvations made at the Domaine de Vassal Estate where the set of these varieties form a collection. The results are indicated compared to the Chasselas vine variety as a reference in order to make comparisons between years and different sites. As such, for information purposes, the dates for the Chasselas B growth stage at Domaine de Vassal are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bud burst, 21 March (average over 50 years)</li>
<li>Grape maturity, 14 August (average over 50 years)</li>
</ul>

Bud burst: 2 days after Chasselas.
Grape maturity: early-season, 1 week and a half after Chasselas.

Suitability for cultivation and agronomic production The data on suitability are the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and the study of bibliographic references.

The data on suitability are the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and the study of bibliographic references.

Trousseau is a vigorous variety which must be planted in well exposed terroirs to reach proper maturity. Short or long pruning suits it well according to climatic conditions.

Susceptibility to diseases and pests These remarks are also the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and study of bibliographic references.

These remarks are also the result of field observations or, if none are available, of bibliography mining and study of bibliographic references.

Trousseau is fairly susceptible to diseases, particularly to grey rot. It is also quite suscpetible to vine leafhoppers and sensitive to wood diseases.

<p>Remarks concerning the characteristics of the wines are generally based on tastings organised by juries of professionals.</p>

The bunches are small and the berries are medium in size. Trousseau produces characteristic, warm and full-bodied wines, with a light color if the yields are high. This variety's sugar accumulation potential is high.

Clonal selection in France In this section, the list of certified clones is given. Information on clone conservatories is also provided.

The seven certified Trousseau clones carry the numbers 1004, 1017, 1021, 1026, 1114, 1277 and 1278. A conservatory of fifty or so clones was planted in the French department of Jura in 2005. An other conservatory of ten clones was planted in the French department of Charente in 2013.
