Gros Verdot is a red French wine grape variety that was a historically important grape in the Gironde wine region of Bordeaux but plantings of the variety have been banned in the region since 1946[1] with the grape no longer being a permitted variety in any AOC Bordeaux wines.[1][2]
Today the grape is not widely cultivated with limited plantings in France, Chile and California where it is an acceptable component in Bordeaux-style Meritage blends.[1][3]
Despite the similar name, ampelographers believe there is no direct genetic relation between Gros Verdot and Petit Verdot.[4]
