Table grape with elongated gherkin-shaped berries, thin skin and crunchy flesh with a pleasant sweet flavour. Very rarely vinified. Now marginal, it survives in a few amateur gardens and ampelographic collections. A witness to French ampelographic heritage, it is among the ancient varieties studied for their historical interest and characteristic shape. French white table grape variety, formerly grown for fresh consumption and preservation.
