Light, fruity reds with a clear ruby robe, smooth tannins and a supple palate of simple red fruits (raspberry, strawberry, cherry), gentle spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching profile to drink young. Once grown in the South-West, now nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its genetic value. A rare French grape, witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West.
