The term is used to describe early varieties of the mirabelle group, including historical forms such as Mirabelle Précoce or Précoce de Montfort. The fruit ripening period occurs in late July or early August, which is significantly earlier than the main varieties of this group.
The fruits have a round or oval shape, a golden-yellow color, sometimes with a red blush. The flesh is distinguished by its aroma and sweetness. Plants of the mirabelle group are versatile in use: they are suitable for fresh consumption, culinary use, and processing, particularly for the production of alcoholic beverages.
Tree growth characteristics depend on the rootstock used. Various forms may be sold under this general name, differing in winter hardiness, fruit size, and self-pollination ability.
