The French Foot List

I did some looking around for a place to find a nice, on-going list of wines that were made from ungrafted rootstock, Pie Franco, Franc de Pied, and all the other ways of saying it, with no avail. I thought it would be fun to start a spot for people to add to said list (also in light of Levi's upcoming Freedom Pie dinner).

Here are a couple to get things started:

Clos de Maulevrier, Ante Phylloxera, Cab. Franc
Catherine et Pierre Breton, Franc de Pied, Cab. Franc
Cappellano Barolo Pie Franco, Nebbiolo
Doniene, Gorrondona, Txakolina tinta, Hondarrabi beltza

I think there was a link to this entry on Keith Levenberg's blog somewhere in Levi's Freedom Pie thread:

 
It is really beautiful chinon from a tiny clos in Lerne`. It is based on very old vines (120 years) and is made in very small quantities (~1200 bottles in a great year). Made by Marc Plouzeau.
 
We did have some at the Wine Bottega here in Boston though we are out with the exception of maybe a stray bottle. I'm not sure where you are but i think it is slim pickin's. I can see if there is any more (they were imported by Weygand).
 
Yep, by all means if you have any or can get any drop me a line (my name with a dot in the middle at gmail) and I'd love to buy a few. Thanks.
