Discover the grape variety: Camaralet de Lasseube
The camaralet of Lasseube has its origins in the Pyrenees, in Bearn. It can be called gentil aromatique, petit camarau or moustardet. Its bunches are of medium size but its berries are small. The berries turn golden yellow when they reach maturity. This grape variety has two approved clones since 1998: 1023 and 1024. It occupies a little less than one hectare in France and is often vinified with other grape varieties such as lauzet and gros manseng. Camaralet de Lasseube is matured about twenty days after Chasselas. Its more or less compact and winged bunches are not affected by grey rot until after maturity. Its female flowers often expose this grape variety to significant risks of coulure, which makes it possible to obtain an alcoholic wine that is full-bodied but fine. Depending on the type, the aromas of the camaralet de Lasseube may recall fennel, pepper or cinnamon.
