The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms grouped alphabetically by country are Mourvèdre d'Afrique (Algeria); Napa Gamay (Australia, Brazil); Aramon du Sud-Ouest, Brocol, Brocol Venant, Cahors, Cot de Cheragas, Côte Verte, Faldeguir, Folle Noire, Gros Auxerrois, Gros Okserna, Isabelle, Jan Pierrou, Jasmin, Moutet, Noir de Chartres, Panse, Plant de Cros, Plant de la Roxo, Plant du Midi, Quercy, Valdiguer, Valdiguier, Venant du Lot (France); Napa Gamay, Gamay 15 (California). It should not be confused with the Cot (with synonyms Cahors, Noir de Chartres), Cot de Cheragas, Gamay or Monastrell (Mourvèdre) varieties, despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
