Piquepoul Noir is a red wine grape that is grown primarily in the Rhone Valley and Languedoc. It is a permitted blending grape for Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Along with Cinsaut and Clairette it is one of the oldest domestic grape varieties in the region. Like the related Piquepoul Gris, the vine tends to bud late and has some sensitivity to oidium. The grape is also known as Picpoul.
The grape has no known relations to the similar name Picpoul that is an alternative name for Folle Blanche.
