The white grape variety comes from France. Synonyms are Sainte-Marie de Biviers and Saint Marie. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2012, it is probably a natural cross between Gouais Blanc x Chasselas. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). The Plant de Séchex and Plant de Vincelles were created with the same parents. The variety is cultivated in Gascony. However, no stocks were recorded in 2016 (statistics Kym Anderson).
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
