Specialty invented here: Œil-de-Perdrix, a delicate Pinot Noir rosé with salmon hues. Lively, mineral Chasselas (citrus, flint) in white, including the identity-marking Non-Filtré primeur.
Jurassic limestone soils, cool climate.

A rare French grape, witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West.
