Discover the grape variety: Ravat noir
Deeply coloured, simple fruity reds with a sustained purple colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) and discreet herbal notes. Productive and disease resistant. Grown in small quantities in France and Canada (Quebec) for rigorous continental viticultural climates. French black hybrid obtained by Jean-François Ravat in the early 20th century, a witness to French post-phylloxera hybridisation.
