I love learning about obscure grapes. You probably already know all this but, here are a few other tidbits I learned from Oz Clark. In Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, Gros and Petit are usually blended with Arrufiac and Courbu. Some authorities believe Petit Manseng to be the same as Albarino/Alvarinho, with the apparent character differences due to riper picking in France. Clark lists your Clos Lapeyre among the best producers. "paucity"? I had to look that one up in my Funk and Wagnall's! Love your stuff! Keep it up. Tom,
