Simple, light, fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity. Understated aromas of red fruits. Discrete rustic profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value; it reflects the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the French vineyard and is among the heritage varieties under study. A rare French black grape, once grown in the centre-east.
