Light, simple fruity reds with a pale, lightly coloured ruby, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Rustic, discreet profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, testament to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and studied among heritage varieties. Rare French black variety, once grown in the South-West.

The word of the wine: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
