Joannes Seyve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joannes Seyve (1900–1966) was a French biochemist who often used Seibel wine grape hybrids first produced in the 1860s. He created the Chambourcin grape, a French hybrid variety that is grown extensively in the Midwest and Northeast United States. His variety Joannes-Seyve 23.416 was crossed with Gewürztraminer to produce the Traminette grape.

His father (1864–1939), and brother Bertille Seyve Jr. (1895–1959) also produced new hybrid grape varieties (identified as Seyve-Villard) including Seyval blanc and Villard Noir.
