Simple, light, fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity. Understated aromas of red fruits. Discrete rustic profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value; it reflects the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the French vineyard and is among the heritage varieties under study.

The wine region of Faugères
Languedoc AOC on signature Palaeozoic schist, foothills of the Massif Central. Dense, mineral reds dominate: vibrant Syrah with signature notes of blackberry, violet, black pepper, garrigue and a smoky touch, tight tannins. Sun-drenched Grenache (ripe cherry, kirsch, spice), Mourvèdre compulsory for depth (leather, game, liquorice) — the only Languedoc AOC to require it. Carignan and Cinsault in support.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
