Terret noir is a dark-skinned French wine grape variety grown primarily in the Rhône valley region of France. It is a mutation of the old Vitis vinifera vine Terret. It is a permitted blending grape for Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Like the related Terret gris and Terret blanc the vine tends to bud late and grow vigorously. Terret noir produces a light color wine that is perfumed and tart.In 2007 there were 189 hectares (470 acres) of Terret noir in France.
