Simple and lively dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate and preserved acidity, with understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and hybrid notes. A productive, disease-resistant profile to drink young. Now marginal in France, it survives in a few heritage plots and varietal collections among the preserved Seyve-Villard hybrids. A French white hybrid obtained by Bertille Seyve in Bourgoin-Jallieu (Seyve-Villard 12-375).

The word of the wine: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
