Light and fresh reds for drinking young with a clear ruby colour, smooth tannins, an airy palate with lively acidity, and signature aromas of red fruits (cherry, redcurrant) and discreet floral notes. Confidential heritage profile. Almost extinct today, preserved in a few varietal conservatories; testifies to the ampelographic diversity of the Jura vineyard before phylloxera. Native French black variety from Franche-Comté.
