Gamay Noir Au Jus Blanc
Red wine grape · reported 2009–2025
Gamay Noir au Jus Blanc names the "true" clone of Gamay whose juice runs clear rather than tinted — a distinction French growers historically drew against darker-juiced Gamay strains used for blending. California has no FPS or VIVC record matched to this exact name, and no bearing acreage has ever been reported, but CDFA has tracked it in crush-district price surveys every year since 2009, across nine districts, with volumes reaching about 44 tons in a peak year. It also carries an unusually deep run of maturity-survey data — 46 seasons across 213 sampled regions — for a variety with no counted plantings.
