The red grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Grand Téoulier, Gros Téoulier, Manosquen, Manosquin, Petit Téoulier, Plant de Manosque, Plant Dufour, Teinturier Téoulier, Téoulier, Thuillier, Thuillier Noir and Trouillere. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Paugayen x Plant d'Entrechaux. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see Molecular genetics). The variety was first mentioned in documents in 1715. The medium-maturing vine is susceptible to powdery mildew. It produces low-acid red wines with moderate alcohol content. The almost extinct variety is cultivated in the Palette area (Provence). In 2016, only 0.1 hectares of vines were recorded (Kym Anderson statistics). There is no genetic relationship with the white variety Téoulier Blanc.
