I just read on Vitisphere (my translation)
Pinot gris is a chimera Research by INRA in Colmar on the pinot genome has led to an amazing discovery: certain versions of the pinot gris grape have two distinct genomes, one for the skin and one for the berry itself. In genetics this is referred to as a "natural tissue chimera". So in pinot gris one finds the skin genome, that gives it its colour and therefore its aroma, and the denome of the interior tissues, which are IDENTICAL TO PINOT BLANC ! The study encompassed 6 types of pinot : gris, noir, meunier, teinturier, blanc and moure. Mike Mike Tommasi, Six Fours, France email link http://www.tommasi.org/mymail |
