Simple whites or rosés with the typical foxy taste of a hybrid, a pale golden to rosé robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with aromas of red fruits, raspberry, flowers and herbal notes. Phylloxera-resistant. One of the six hybrids banned in France since 1935 (alongside Clinton, Jacquez, Noah). Still present in heritage gardens of the South-West and Cévennes. American hybrid derived from Vitis aestivalis, discovered around 1810 by Nicholas Herbemont.
