Simple, supple and fruity reds to drink young, with a clear ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity on undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Now virtually extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of French vineyards and forms part of the patrimonial varieties under study. Rare French black variety, formerly grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Bergerac Sec
Dry white AOC of South Périgord: signature dominant Sauvignon Blanc blended with Sémillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle (≥75% main varieties) — lively, fresh whites with pale gold robe, delicate nose of apricot, peach, citrus and white flowers, aromatic palate with crisp attack and good length. Clay-limestone and boulbène soils, temperate South-West climate. Accessible alternative to white Bordeaux, drink young with seafood, grilled fish and goat cheeses.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Côte des Bar
This is the name given to the vineyards of the Aube, which are closer to Burgundy, and some of the wines produced here bear witness to this proximity. The pinot noir dominates, the meunier is practically absent. Two crus have become references: Riceys, where a rosé without bubbles is also produced, and Montgueux near Troyes, renowned for its Chardonnay.
