The white grape variety is a new variety between Vandal 63 (Prince of Wales x Riparia) x Vandal 163 (Aurore x Chancellor). Synonyms are Cliche, Cliche Blanc, Vandal 84-14 and Vandal Blanc. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis cinerea, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1946 by Joseph O. Vandal (1907-1994) at Laval University in Quebec, Canada.

The early to medium ripening vine is extremely resistant to frost down to minus 35 °Celsius, but susceptible to downy mildew and anthracnose. It produces light-coloured white wines with citrus aromas and a foxy.
