Muscat Précoce de Saumur

The white grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Blanc Précoce Musqué de Courtiller, Courtill(i)er Musqué, Courtiller Musqué Précoce, Madeleine Musqué de Courtillier, Muscat Courtill(i)er, Muscat de Saumur, Précoce Blanc Musqué de Courtiller, Précoce de Courtiller, Précoce de Saumur, Précoce Musqué and Prekos de Kurtile. It was selected in 1842 in Saumur (Loire) by Auguste Courtiller (1795-1875) from open-pollinated seedlings of the Pinot Précoce Noir (Pinot Noir) variety (breeder's details in the breeding list). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, however, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Pinot (exact variety unknown) x Muscat Blanc. However, this is based on only 17 DNA markers (see molecular genetics).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
