Origin

The variety was first documented in 1783 in Jurançon. Its parentage is unknown. In France, it is often confused with the Arrufiac variety. In the Spanish Basque Country, it is known as Hondarrabi Zuri. There is no genetic relationship with the red variety Courbu Noir. There is also a white variety Petit Courbu (Xuri Zerratu); this is possibly a variety with smaller berries.
