Marechal Foch is a French hybrid, VIVC-recorded as a cross of Millardet et Grasset 101 O.P. and Goldriesling, bred for cold hardiness and more commonly grown in cooler eastern regions of North America. California's record for it is almost nonexistent: no bearing acreage was ever reported to CDFA, and district data covers only 2000 to 2006 across 2 crush districts. It has essentially disappeared from California's modern vineyard record.
