The white grape variety is a new breed between Bicane x Chasselas. The parentage was last revealed by DNA analyses carried out in 2013, as the variety was indicated in the breeding list as an open-pollinated seedling of Chasselas. Synonyms are Admirable, Admirabl de Kurtile, Blanc de Courtiller, Budaoersi, Chasselas de Courtiller, Courtiller Esodalatosa, Csiri Szölö, Futogyonegy, Oseri, Roux de Courtiller and Shasla Steklyannaya. The cross was made in France in the middle of the 19th century by Auguste Courtiller (1795-1875).

The early-ripening vine is susceptible to coulure (Millerandage) and stem rot and tends to form many stingy shoots. It produces white wines with a neutral flavour and is also used as table grape. The variety was mistakenly regarded as the father variety of Müller-Thurgau (which is Madeleine Royale).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
