Henri Bouschet was a French viticulturalist who specialized in crossing pigmented teinturière varieties of Vitis vinifera grapes - particularly with a view to sourcing colour (and tannin). Son of renowned viticulturalist, Louis-Marie Bouschet (1784-1876; creator of the Petit Bouschet), Henri also worked at Domaine de la Calmette, in Mauguio, Hérault, France, close to the university town of Montpellier.[1] Henri Bouschet is best remembered for the still relatively unknown, but world-class Alicante Bouschet variety. Alicante was a local name in southern France given to the Grenache, with which the Petit Bouschet was crossed. Another of his creations is the Grand Noir de la Calmette.
