Simple, light and fruity reds with a lightly coloured ruby hue, smooth tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, featuring understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE variety collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of South-West France and is among the heritage varieties being studied. Rare French black variety, once grown in the South-West.
