Light, simple fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby robe, soft tannins, airy palate and moderate acidity; unassuming aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic style. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, testifying to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. Rare French black grape, formerly cultivated in the South-West.

Fleshy palate, freshness at altitude. Minervois-La Livinière cru at the top (1999), dense and age-worthy.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Astringent
Said of a wine that is a bit harsh and rough on the palate. Astringency often appears in young red wines that are rich in tannins and need to be rounded out.
