Mouyssaguès is a grape variety that originated in the southwest of France. Today it occupies just under a hectare, whereas in the past it filled the entire Lot valley. Its adult leaves have between 7 and 9 lobes. These turn completely red in the autumn. Its blue-black berries are elliptical and short. As for its truncated cone-shaped bunches, they are of medium size. They are also compact and winged. Mouyssaguès has only one approved clone, 1.150. A dozen others have been planted in Aveyron. Mouyssaguès can bud in the middle or late, 8 to 10 days after Chasselas. It ripens early for the second time. Vigorous, it is not very sensitive to the various diseases common to these grape varieties. Although productive, it is preferable to prune it long. The mouyssaguès makes a very astringent and coloured wine. This variety can also be called negret, faroneux, rouge menu or peyregord. Because of its high yield, it is often called the poor man's vine.
