Simple dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage grape varieties being studied. Rare French white grape, once cultivated in the South-West.

The word of the wine: Concentrator
A device that removes water from grape must by reverse osmosis or entropy system. Its proponents say that it is better to remove water than to add sugar to produce more alcohol. The improperly used concentrator can also exaggerate bad tastes or greenness of tannins.
