Varietal innovation strategy: resistant grape varieties and challenges for sparkling wine production

Presented by

Description

Launched by INRAE in 2000, the ResDur varietal innovation programme has already led to the registration of eighteen grapevine varieties with polygenic resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew, now cultivated on nearly 1,500 hectares in France. Beyond these successes, the ResDur programme provides a foundation for future varietal innovation, particularly for the production of sparkling wines.
