In my experience, mulberries - the French don't seem to value blackberries
much, possibly because they tend to be very shrivelled in dry summer
locations. Also, they have grapes as a soft autumn fruit.

As far as I know, there are no qualifications to distinguish those,
though I have seen "mures sauvage".

I'd assumed blackberries but that's because I like Crème de Mûres added to
my summer white wine, rather than Cassis. ;-)
