text: # Aubin blanc
  
  Aubin blanc (or simply Aubin) is a white wine grape from the upper reaches of the Moselle valley in eastern France.
  
  ## History
  
  DNA fingerprinting has shown that Aubin is the result of a cross between Gouais blanc and Savagnin. Gouais blanc was widely grown by the French peasantry in the Medieval age, and it is a parent of Chardonnay and Aubin vert among others. Savagnin is common in Jura wine (including Vin jaune) and is a variety in the Traminer family which also includes Gewürztraminer.
  
  ## Viticulture
  
  There's usually a reason why grapes like this are in decline. The Traminer family are notoriously difficult to grow, with poor disease resistance and low yields.
  
  ## Wine regions
  
  Aubin blanc is only found blended into wines from the Côtes de Toul appellation in Lorraine.
