Braquet
A light, perfumed red grape of Provence's Bellet AOC.
Last updated
Braquet is a red French wine grape variety grown predominantly in Provence, especially in the Bellet AOC, where it is used in still and rosé wines as both a blending and varietal grape. Also known as Brachet, it produces naturally low yields and light bodied, delicately perfumed wines. Recent ampelographic thought holds that Braquet is not related to the more aromatic Piedmont grape Brachetto.
