The white grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Laouset, Lauzet Blanc and Lercat Blanc.

The parentage is unknown. Due to morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the Courbu Blanc, Petit Courbu or Gros Manseng varieties.
The late-ripening vine is susceptible to botrytis. It produces flavoursome, alcohol-rich white wines with moderate acidity.
The endangered variety is cultivated in south-west France and is authorised in the Béarn and Jurançon regions. Three hectares of vineyards were designated in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
