An easy-drinking profile. Now marginal, found only in ampelographic collections or with a few passionate growers in the Var. Grey-skinned mutation of Calitor, a traditional southern variety once widespread in Provence.

The word of the wine: Aging on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
