In 1809, Michel-Christophe Hervy, director of the Luxembourg nursery, published a summary catalogue of arboricultural species, of which the grapevine was then a part, which then formed the collection, under the title Catalogue méthodique et classique de tous les arbres, arbustes fruitiers et des vignes formant la collection de l’école impériale établie près le Luxembourg ... Here is the list of grape varieties listed for the Gironde. The letters on the right define the colour (N for Noir/Black and B for Blanc/White) and the shape of the grapes (Round or Oval). The catalogue can be found below (under the direction of Henri Galinié).
