Verdesse (French pronunciation: [vɛʁdɛs]) is a white French wine grape variety grown primarily in the Bugey AOC of eastern France (though it is not currently permitted in the AOC wine).[1][2] It is also permitted under the Vin de Savoie AOC for wines produced in the Isère department up to a maximum allowance of 10%.[3] Ampelographers believe that the variety is likely very old and originated along the Drac and Grésivaudan valleys in Isère.[4]
