Camaralet is a white French winegrape variety that is grown primarily in Southwest France. While historically known for its strong aromatics and flavor profile, the grape has been declining in importance and planting and is now nearly extinct.[1]
Relationship to other grapesedit
The Camaralet may have some relation to another grape grown in Jurançon and Béarn AOCs, Camaraou noir which is also known under the synonym Camaralet noir, but DNA analysis has shown that the two varieties are distinct and not color mutations of one or the other. However, the two varieties share several synonyms.[2]
Synonymsedit
Various synonyms have been used to describe Camaralet and its wines, including Camaralet blanc, Camaralet à Fleurs Femelles, Camaralet de Lasseube, Camarau, Camaraou blanc, Gentil aromatique, Moustardet and Petit Camarau.
