The red grape variety is a new cross between Jurançon Noir x Portugais Bleu (Blue Portugieser). The cross was made in France in 1957 by Paul Truel (1924-2014) on behalf of INRA at the Domaine de Vassal near Montpellier. The medium ripening vine is sensitive to heat.

In 20160, 61 hectares of vines were reported in France (Kym Anderson statistics).
