Light and fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, fine tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant), spices and herbaceous notes. An airy, easy-drinking style. Preserved in a few heritage plots in Béarn and the French Basque Country for its historical value. A very rare autochthonous south-west variety, with no direct genetic link to the white petit and gros manseng despite the shared name.
