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

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.
