Discover the grape variety: Négret Canourgue

Originating very certainly from the high valley of the Tarn aveyronnaise and lozérienne. It was confused for a long time with Abouriou, and as a result it still exchanges, wrongly, a few synonyms. It is very little multiplied, almost unknown in the other French wine regions.
