It must not be confused with the varieties Chardonnay (Auxerrois), Melon de Bourgogne (Auxerrois Gros), Pinot Blanc (Auxerrois) or Pinot Gris (Auxerrois Gris), despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities. It is not a colour mutation of the red variety Cot (also with synonym Auxerrois). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it is one of the many presumably natural crosses between Gouais Blanc (Heunisch) x Pinot.
