California Wine Atlas

Trousseau

Red wine grape · reported 2000–2025

Further reading: UC Davis Foundation Plant Services

Trousseau is associated with the Jura region of France, though the atlas carries no confirmed origin record for it. It has no bearing acreage reported to CDFA in California, despite a long presence in district crush data: 151 district-years across 14 crush districts spanning all 26 tracked crop years. It is a light-colored, high-acid red. In California it survives mainly as small, unreported plantings, often within old-vine field blends.

What is published

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Trousseau, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
