Simple, light and fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby hue, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic profile. Almost disappeared, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of central and south-western France. Rare French black variety (synonym of Gouget), formerly grown in central and south-western France.
