Folle Blanche is a white wine grape historically significant in the Cognac and Armagnac regions of southwestern France. Once widely planted for brandy production, it has become increasingly rare due to its susceptibility to phylloxera and mildew, though it remains valued for its distinctive aromatic qualities.

Winemaking & Aging
