The grape is an offspring of Gouais Blanc x Savagnin and first mentioned in 1722 in a parliamental decrete in Metz, where it is excluded from a re-cultivation project, indicating that the Aubin varieties (Aubin Blanc & Aubin Vert) have been regarded as grapes worth cultivating in that time. The grape is not too expressive but providing fairly mature primary aromas of yellow apple, peach, quince, lemon curd, along with a strong floral perspective. Medium-plus acidity, dry, medium body and 12.5% alcohol make it a well-structured and balanced wine ideal for local cheese pairings of fish dishes like salmon with beurre blanc.
