Deep-coloured, simple reds with an intense ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate, with simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), soft spices and herbaceous notes. Profile for drinking young. Now marginal, preserved in INRAE varietal collections and a few heritage plots in the Bordelais and Médoc. French autochthonous variety from the South-West, not to be confused with Petit Verdot, a witness to ancient Aquitaine varieties.
