Structured, colourful reds with a dark, intense ruby color, firm tannins and a dense palate, offering intense aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), plum, black cherry, spices, pepper and balsamic notes. Fine cellaring potential, rustic profile. Nearly extinct after phylloxera, undergoing an identity revival among Ardèche winemakers in IGP Cévennes and IGP Ardèche. French indigenous variety from the Cévennes Ardéchoises, a pre-phylloxera heritage witness.

The wine region of Vin de France
The freest category of French wine, the playground of winemakers working outside the AOC. All styles combined: fruity reds, lively or ambitious whites, everyday rosés, unusual blends, natural wines, atypical grapes (Petit Manseng in Languedoc, Riesling in Provence), experimental winemaking (skin-contact whites, no sulphur). Grape and vintage labelling allowed, no geographic constraint. From the pop, convivial cuvée to the artisan gem: freedom in a bottle.
The word of the wine: Thick
Said of a heavy, pasty wine lacking in finesse.
