Because it is a hybrid variety, cultivation for commercial wines in Europe is restricted by European Union regulation.
Marechal Foch, a hybrid red wine grape named after Ferdinand Foch
Marechal Foch was formerly commonly grown in the Loire, but today it is limited to a small number of hectares in Europe.
•
It was named after the French marshal Ferdinand Foch (1851-1929), who played an important role in the negotiation of the armistice terms during the closing of the First World War.
•
Marechal Foch is used to make a variety of styles of wine, ranging from a light red wine similar to Beaujolais, to more extracted wines with intense dark "inky" purple colour and unique varietal character, to sweet, fortified, port-style wines.
