The vineyard has a special feature: the Négrette, a native grape variety with a unique identity that is not found in any other appellation. Acknowledged by wine professionals nationwide, the typicality of the Négrette grape variety has won it over even beyond France, notably in Canada, Japan and the United States, where wines from the Sud-Ouest have recently been singled out by Wine Enthusiast magazine.
