Coloured, simple fruity reds with a light purple robe, soft tannins and an airy palate, showing undemanding aromas of red and black fruits. Productive. Marginal today, surviving in a few French varietal collections, it testifies to the history of post-phylloxera hybridisation. French black hybrid bred by Georges Couderc at the end of the 19th century, in the lineage of phylloxera-resistant crosses.

The word of the wine: Bacchus
Roman god of the vine and wine, often evoked to qualify everything that concerns the world of wine, and in particular its consumption. His name gave the adjective "bachique" which suggests the idea of celebration and conviviality.
