Henri Enjalbert (January 20, 1910[1] – June 19, 1983[2]) was a French professor of geography at the University of Bordeaux. He was considered an eminent specialist in wine geology, whose expert opinion frequently overlapped into the fields of oenology, and wine and terroir history, within the Bordeaux region and beyond.[3][4] Among other credits, he has been called "Bordeaux's most diligent geologist"[5] and "the discoverer of Mas de Daumas Gassac.[6] Among his contentions are that Albania, the Ionian Islands of Greece, and southern Dalmatia in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina may have been the last European refuge of the grape vine after the Ice Age.[7]
