Properties
The César grape is known for producing very colorful and tannic red wines. The wine from this grape can be quite dry and has a robust body, which often requires it to mature to round out the edges. The color is typically very intense, almost black, and the flavor profile can include notes of dark berries, spices, and sometimes an earthy undertone.
Uses
In Burgundy, César is often blended with other grapes, particularly Pinot Noir, to add body and tannins to the wine. This practice helps create more complex and structured wines that can age well. Although César is not as widespread as it once was, the tradition of its cultivation is kept alive by some local winegrowers who value its historical significance and unique characteristics.
Current status
Due to its challenging growing conditions and the dominant popularity of more "friendly" grapes such as Pinot Noir, César is not grown in large quantities. However, it is still part of the heritage and charm of winemaking in certain parts of Burgundy, where it contributes to the region's rich wine history.
The César grape is a good example of a historic grape variety that provides a unique wine experience, representing a particular local tradition and terroir.
