Library

Ampelographic library

The thematic library holds the main French and foreign ampelographic works, ancient or modern. These are invaluable tools for variety identification and appraisal of the potential of the described varieties.

It contains about 300 books in different languages.

These books can be accessed on site, upon prior notice.

In addition, data from the Vassal collection and various documents (handwritten notes, articles, reports…) written by different authors on varieties observed outside the collection are gathered together in varietal dossiers. About 5000 such dossiers, of variable volume, have thus been assembled.  

They also can be accessed on site, upon prior notice.
