Grape very present in the Champagne vineyards, it comes from a cottony mutation of Pinot Noir.

It is part of the vine appellations Champagne, Moselle, Côtes de Toul, Touraine, Touraine-Noble Joué and Orléans. It gives a soft wine, sometimes lacking in color, less refined and less alcoholic than Pinot noir, sensitive to oxidation - which is also the case for the grape must - moderately acid and rapidly evolving.

Aromas of banana, raspberry, apple pippin.
