Light, fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, soft tannins, and an airy palate with moderate acidity, offering understated red-fruit aromas. A discreet, rustic Provençal profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of southern France.
