Chambourcin (sham-bour-sin) is a complex hybrid produced in France by the private breeder Joannes Seyve (JS26-205). Its parentage has not been published but it would be based on the better Seibel hybrids and involve up to eight of the US species of Vitis. It was officially released in 1963. It is being grown commercially in the eastern US and was introduced into Australia by CSIRO in 1973.
Chambourcin shows very good resistance to downy and powdery mildews and to phylloxera, both against damage to the root system and galling on the leaves
