An interesting apple with strong russeting, and a flattened or squished looking appearance.
Believed to be of French origin, it shares many similarities with other antiques of the region, namely a strong sweet aroma, "dry" texture, and complex flavours that balance tartness and sweetness.

NOTE: I have yet to try this apple directly, having only grafted it in 2021, and so have relied on others for information related to this variety.
