Variety description

10 August 2026

Petit Béclan, also known as Béclan, is a nearly extinct grape variety originating from the Franche-Comté region. The variety has many synonyms, including Baccalan, Dureau, and Saunoir. The name Petit Béclan is used to distinguish it from Gros Béclan, which is a synonym for the Peloursin variety.

The variety is classified as a wine grape, characterized by early ripening and low yield. The plant forms small bunches with small berries with thick skin. The variety is susceptible to downy mildew, but shows less susceptibility to powdery mildew and grey mold.

Wines from this variety are characterized by lightness, moderate alcohol content, and characteristic rustic notes. Genetically, the variety is distinct from Durif, Peloursin, and Pinot noir.
