TY - JOUR T1 - Genetics and Ampelography Trace the Origin of Muscat fleur d’oranger JF - American Journal of Enology and Viticulture JO - Am J Enol Vitic.

This grape with muscat flavor and a particular note of orange blossom was apparently derived from a cross between Chasselas and Muscat à petits grains blancs (Muscat blanc). This hypothesis is supported by genetic, morphological, and historical evidence. ER -
