A very high-acid variety grown not for wine but for verjuice production — the tart unripe grape juice used in traditional cooking to acidify sauces and meats. Now virtually extinct, it bears witness to French gastronomic and viticultural heritage and is preserved in varietal collections for its historical interest. A historic French white grape specific to medieval verjuice.

Triple sun (soil/lake/sky), dry-stone walls.
