This grape variety most certainly originates from the Bordeaux region and is registered in the Official Catalogue of vine varieties, list A1.

It should also be noted that it is the half-brother of the côt or malbec and that it is not the black form of the white merlot, but its resemblance reminds us that it is indeed a descendant.
