Discover the grape variety: Cacaboué
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, testament to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Southwest and studied for its genetic interest. Rare French white grape formerly cultivated in the Southwest.
