Light, simple fruity reds with a lightly coloured light ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, bearing witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. Rare French black grape, formerly grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Buzet
Southwest France AOC on the left bank of the Garonne (Lot-et-Garonne): signature blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Côt in red king — deep hue with powerful aromas of red and black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), peppery, smoky, vanilla and spice notes from barrel aging, fleshy structured signature palate, supple tannins and Bordeaux elegance. Rosés and whites in complement, medium ageing, AOC 1973.
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: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
