Light, simple fruity reds with a pale, lightly coloured ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, with understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet rustic profile. Almost vanished from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE variety collections; bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern French vineyards. Rare French black variety, once grown in the south-east.
