The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Millardet et Grasset 101 O.P. x Goldriesling (1). Synonyms and breeding numbers are 191-1 and Kuhlmann 191-1, which contain genes from Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed at the beginning of the 20th century at the Oberlin Institute in Colmar/Alsace by grower Eugène Kuhlmann (1858-1932). The same parents also produced the six new varieties Etoile I, Etoile II, Léon Millot, Lucie Kuhlmann, Maréchal Foch and Maréchal Joffre.
