Discover the grape variety: Franc de Haute-Saône
Light, fresh reds to drink young, with a lightly coloured clear ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet Jura profile. Now almost extinct, preserved in varietal conservatories for its heritage value, it bears witness to the ampelographic diversity of pre-phylloxera Jura viticulture. French autochthonous black grape from the Haute-Saône vineyard in Franche-Comté.

The word of the wine: Old vines
There are no specific regulations governing the term "vieilles vignes". After 20 to 25 years, the yields stabilize and tend to decrease, the vines are deeply rooted, and the grapes that come from them give richer, more concentrated, more sappy wines, expressing with more nuance the characteristics of their terroir. It is possible to find plots of vines that claim to be a century old.
