The white grape variety (also E.M. 573-11) is a new breeding between Carignan Blanc x Cinsaut according to DNA analyses carried out in 2013. The parentage Ugni Blanc (Trebbiano Toscano) x Clairette Blanche (Clairette) stated in the breeding list turned out to be wrong. The cross was made in 1953 by Paul Truel (1924-2014) on behalf of INRA at the Domaine de Vassal. The variety is grown in the Hérault department in Languedoc. In 2016, six hectares of vines were designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
