Origin

Due to genetic studies of 352 varieties in 1998 it turned out that the varieties Aligoté, Aubin Vert, Auxerrois, Bachet noir, Beaunoir, Chardonnay, Dameron, Franc Noir de la Haute Saône, Gamay, Knipperlé, Melon de Bourgogne, Peurion, Romorantin, Roublot and Sacy also similar to the Gamay Blanc Gloriod all originated from spontaneous crosses between Pinot Blanc and Gouais. Since the genetic differences between Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are extremely low, there is a precise specification of the Pinot - type not yet available.

The success of these spontaneous crossing is explained that the two parent varieties are fundamentally different, genetically speaking. While the varieties of Pinot family believed to originate from Burgundy, the Gouais Blanc was brought by the Romans to France. In the Rebgärten of Burgundy and the southern Champagne both varieties were for some centuries in the Joint sentence.
