A small amount is also grown in eastern Australia under the name Gros Cabernet.

===France===
Trousseau is one of five grape varieties allowed in the [[Jura wine]] appellations, but only covers 5% of the Jura vineyards since it requires more sun than other Jura varieties to ripe. It is often used to stiffen blends with the pale [[Poulsard]], which is easier to cultivate. In 2009, there was a total of {{convert|172|ha}} of Trousseau in France.<ref name="Wine Grapes"/>

===Portugal===
It is part of the blend for [[port wine]] and also an important variety for red wines in the Dão. A total of {{convert|1218|ha}} of Trousseau, mostly under the name Bastardo, is cultivated in the vineyards of Portugal.<ref name="Wine Grapes"/>  It is also grown in very small quantities in Madeira, and a small number of vintage wines labelled Bastardo were made.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 31, 2011 |title=Bastardo - Best Grape Name Of Them All? |url=http://madaboutmadeira.org/bastardo-best-grape-name-of-them-all/ |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180918193904/http://madaboutmadeira.org/bastardo-best-grape-name-of-them-all/ |archive-date=Sep 18, 2018 |website=Mad about Madeira}}</ref>

===Spain===
In Spain Trousseau is grown under the names of Merenzao, Bastardo, Bastardo Negro, María Ordoña, Maturana Tinta, Tintilla, and Verdejo Negro. It is an authorised variety in the [[Galician wine|Galician]] DOPS of [[Ribeira Sacra (DO)|Ribiera Sacra]] and [[Valdeorras]] DOPs in Galicia. It has also been included in [[Rioja wine|Rioja DOCa]] under the name of Maturana Tinta, but it is listed as a separate variety to Trousseau / Merenzao even though they are genetically indistinct.<ref name="Wine Grapes" />
