The Semillon grape is for the boy, Mérille is for the girl, Blanquette for the little lass, Petit pied rouge (Cot) for the little child, Bouchalès is for the bourgeois, And Oeil de tour (Ondec), prune it short, All these vines, fiddle-de-dee

The Semillon grape is for the boy, Mérille is for the girl, Blanquette for the little lass, Petit pied rouge (Cot) for the little child, Bouchalès is for the bourgeois, And Oeil de tour (Ondec), prune it short, All these vines, fiddle-de-dee... Bear grapes right down to the rear.

A traditional song featuring grape variety names from Lot-et-Garonne, quoted by Marcel Lacroix in a work published in Agen in 1941.

Aside from Semillon and Cot, at Cazebonne we have replanted Bouchalès and Mérille, which were once planted across Bordeaux.
