Petit Manseng - Weintraube und Blatt

Parentage

A Manseng variety was first mentioned in 1562 in Jurançon by a "vinhe mansengue". However, it was not until 1783 that a distinction was made in a text between Petit Manseng (small berries) and Gros Manseng (large berries). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, Petit Manseng originates from a presumably natural cross between an unknown parent variety x Savagnin Blanc (Traminer). The parentage of Gros Manseng, on the other hand, is unknown.
