The red grape variety originates from France. There are about 40 synonyms, so it is probably a very old variety. Some of them are Boutignon, Canut, Canut Noir, Chaussé Noir, Cony, Ferriolet, Goutaudet, Gros Boutiquon, Gros Machouquet, Gros Tripet, Grosse Pardotte, Machouquet, Pardotte Noire, Petit Pignon, Plant d'Aoste, Sauvignon Noir and Urize. The parentage (parentage) is unknown. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
