Aubin Vert is a white wine grape cultivar grown in the Lorraine region of France. Small vineyards are found in Bulligny, Bruley, Pagney and Rozérieulles. Within the last century, it has also been grown in Thiaucourt-Regniéville, d'Euvezin and Magny.
DNA fingerprinting research at the University of California, Davis has also identified the Aubin vert as a relative of the Aligoté, Auxerrois, Bachet Noir, Beaunoir, Franc Noir de la-Haute-Saône, Gamay Blanc Gloriod, Gamay Noir, Melon, Knipperlé, Peurion, Roublot, and Sacy grape varieties.
Aubin Vert is a disappearing cultivar, due in part to the bunches and grapes being small. The bunches tend to be cylindrical and limp. While the varietal grows strongly, production is irregular. Wines of the Aubin Vert are often middle quality.

Famous quotes containing the word aubin:
“A solitary traveller can sleep from state to state, from day to night, from day to day, in the long womb of its controlled interior. It is the cradle that never stops rocking after the lullaby is over. It is the biggest sleeping tablet in the world, and no one need ever swallow the pill, for it swallows them.”
—Lisa St. Aubin de Terán (b. 1953)
