Madeleine Angevine is a white wine grape from the Loire Valley in France that is also popular in Germany, Kyrgyzstan [1] and Washington state. [2] As of 2026, the grape has also been used widely in viticulture in the United Kingdom (including Scotland) and Ireland [3] . The early-ripening grape is a cross between Madeleine Royale and Malingre Précoce grapes that grows well in cooler climates. Madeleine Angevine makes an attractive fruity wine with a flowery nose, similar to an Alsatian Pinot blanc. It is crisp, acid and dry and pairs particularly well with seafoods such as crab and oyster. [4]

Contents

Madeleine Angevine was crossed with Silvaner Geilweilerhof to make the Noblessa and Forta grapes. It was crossed with Traminer to make the Comtessa grape. [5]

In Washington State, the grape has developed a cult following in the Puget Sound region for its floral character and easy-drinking nature. [6]
