Simple, light, fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity. Understated aromas of southern red fruits. Discrete rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections; it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of south-east France and is among the heritage varieties studied for their genetic interest. A rare French black grape, once grown in the south-east.

The word of the wine: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
