The white grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Aiguillon, Becquin, Bekin, Béquin, Blanc Laffite, Blanc Lafitte, Blanquette, Blanquette Aventice, Blanquette de Limoux, Blanquette Sucrée, Caspre, Clairac, Durancon, Gaillac, Gamet Blanc, Maousac, Mausac, Mausat, Mauza, Mauza Blanca, Mauzac, Moisac, Moissac, Moysac, Mozac, Mozak Belyi, Peron, Perrond, Plant de Gaillac, Primard, Queue Fort, Queue Roide and Sudunais.

The parentage is unknown. It should not be confused with the Ondenc variety (with the synonym Béquin) or the morphologically similar Italian variety Torbato (Tourbat in Roussillon). According to DNA analyses, the pink-berry variety Mauzac Rose is a colour mutation. Mauzac Blanc was a parent of the Négret Castrais variety. However, there is no relationship to the red variety Mauzac Noir.
