Discover the grape variety: Jaoumet
Light, simple fruity reds with a lightly coloured light ruby robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, bearing witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and part of the heritage grapes being studied. Rare French black grape, formerly grown in the South-West.
