Table grape with long clusters and spherical blue-black berries with thick skin and juicy flesh, with a pleasant sweet taste. Late-ripening. Very rarely vinified. Father of the Alphonse Lavallée. Now marginal in commercial cultivation, it survives in a few amateur gardens and ampelographic collections for its heritage value and genetic interest. French black table grape variety, grown for fresh consumption in the 19th century.

The wine region of Cahors

Historic cradle of Malbec, the "black wine" of South-West France: signature Côt (≥70%) reigns in reds — dark-hued with black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry), plum, violet and a liquorice touch, cedar and cocoa on ageing, structured tannins and great cellaring aptitude. Supple Merlot softens, dense Tannat optional. AOC (1971), ~4,000 ha across three alluvial terraces of the Lot and limestone causses, Aquitaine-southern climate, ageing 8-15 years.

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.
