Pedigree & descendants

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2011, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Gouais Blanc x unknown father variety (ex Wine Grapes; however, this is not confirmed in the VIVC catalogue- no parents are specified here). It was a parent of the varieties Jurançon Blanc, Jurançon Noir, Merlot Blanc and Monbadon (natural crosses), as well as Baco Blanc, Baco Noir and Folignan (new varieties).
