According to DNA analyses, there is possibly a parent-offspring relationship with the Manseng Noir variety, as well as relationships with the Baroque, Courbu Blanc, Lauzet and Petit Courbu varieties. Tannat was a crossing partner in the four new varieties Achemoyeta, Arinarnoa, Artzebat and Ekigaïna. It is also a parent of the Négret de Banhars variety, which was created by natural crossing. There is also a light-berried variety called Tannat Gris.
