This paradox reveals the delicate nature of the White Muscat: grown espaliered, facing due south in the vicinity of Paris to complete its ripening, it requires patience and expertise. In the South of France, however, it thrives in open fields and gives rise to the famous Muscat wine, which Poiteau respectfully compares to the Muscat of Tenedos praised by Tournefort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe White Muscat cluster is recognizable by its narrow, often conical shape, measuring 135 to 217 millimeters long. Its \u003cb\u003enumerous and very tight berries\u003c\/b\u003e, rounded and slightly elongated by pressure, reach 18 to 25 millimeters in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skin, firm and crisp, is yellowish-green turning amber on the sun-exposed side, sometimes speckled with \u003cb\u003erusset spots\u003c\/b\u003e, a distinctive sign of superior quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flesh, \u003cb\u003eintensely musky\u003c\/b\u003e, is less melting than that of the \u003cstrong\u003eChasselas\u003c\/strong\u003e. Three or four small, white seeds, marbled with grey mixed with violet, complete the portrait of this exceptional grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foliage, slightly more incised and greener than that of the Chasselas, has sharper teeth, a subtle characteristic that distinguishes the vine at first glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plate is taken from Pierre-Antoine Poiteau and Pierre Jean François Turpin's \u003cem\u003eTraité des Arbres Fruitiers\u003c\/em\u003e, a botanical encyclopedia published between 1807 and 1835, a major reference in 19th-century naturalist illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt combines the rigor of scientific drawing with a rare artistic sensibility, characteristic of the great plates from the golden age of illustrated botany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting, support, shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach poster is printed with \u003cb\u003e12-color giclée printing\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ethe benchmark for art workshops\u003c\/b\u003e for reproducing fine tones, subtle gradients, and the most delicate botanical details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 g\/m² paper weight, soft matte finish, 0.26 mm thickness: \u003cb\u003ea result close to the original engraving\u003c\/b\u003e, clear, glare-free, designed for hanging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on \u003cb\u003eFSC certified paper\u003c\/b\u003e, printed individually to order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipped in a rigid protective tube\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Poiteau Botaniste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58214424969600,"sku":"c1fef888-3d06-43db-8a0f-493521206a37","price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3356\/7360\/files\/7448bef1-4053-4442-ba3b-84fb259a4c47.jpg?v=1780678806","url":"https:\/\/shop.poiteau-botaniste.com\/en\/products\/raisin-muscat-blanc-affiche-50x70cm","provider":"Shop Poiteau Botaniste","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
