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 Provençal profile. Almost disappeared, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Provençal vineyard.

The wine region of Coteaux du Quercy
Southwest AOP between Cahors and Montauban (Lot, Tarn-et-Garonne, argilo-calcareous causses, double Atlantic and Mediterranean influence): Cabernet Franc as the signature red king (40–60%), complemented by Côt, Merlot, Tannat and sometimes Gamay — profile of red fruits (raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant) lifted by floral and peppery notes, fleshy palate with a supple attack, round and structured tannins, fruity and generous expression typical of the limestone plateaux.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Ban des vendanges
Date of the beginning of the grape harvest, fixed by the lord in the tradition of the Middle Ages and, today, by the prefect.
