Nectavigne
(prunus persica 'nectavigne')
Not to be confused with blood peach (prunus persica 'sanguine de savoie')
If you had a vineyard in Lyon, France some 250 years ago, it's likely that your vines would've suffered from mildew caused by parasitic fungi. The solution? Indicator plants. The vintners started using peaches, known to be particularly sensitive to disease, which would react as soon as it was present and the vines were saved from mildew. The specific peach trees used were either the downy vineyard peach (prunus persica 'pêche de vigne') or blood peach (prunus persica 'sanguine de savoie') named for its dark red flesh, caused by the anthocyanins (an antioxidant) in the fruit.
Over time, by selectively picking fruits, a new range of fruits named nectavigne was born from the parentage of the vineyard peaches and nectarine. French breeder René Monteux-Caillet played a crucial part in this, dedicating a large portion of his life to breeding programs focused on apricot, peach and nectarine varieties adapted to the South East of France's growing conditions. The nectavigne lacks the downy skin of its parentage, but it still has the same great flavour, which is said to be sweet yet tangy, with a hint of raspberry aroma.
