There are two grape varieties with this name:
The white grape variety (also Vidal 100 T) is an interspecific new breed between Ugni Blanc (Trebbiano Toscano) x Jurançon Blanc. The crossbreed occurred in the 1930s in France by Jean-Louis Vidal (1880-1976), who specifically created it for the production of Cognac. It is grown there in the departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime. In 2016, seven hectares of vineyard area were reported in France (Statistics Kym Anderson).

The white grape variety is a new breed between Bicane x Dattier de Beyrouth (Afus Ali). Through DNA analyses conducted in 2013, the variety listed as the father variety, Chasselas Doré, was found to be incorrect. The crossbreed occurred in 1959 in Romania by the breeder V. Dvomik. The variety is mainly used as a table grape. In 2016, 0.2 hectares of vineyard area were reported in Romania (Statistics Kym Anderson).
