Light, simple, fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy, moderately acidic palate, with undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. A discreet, rustic southern profile. Almost absent from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE variety collections for its heritage value, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern French vineyard. A rare French black grape, once grown in the South-East.
