The origins of the classic European wine grapes
(Vitis vinifera) have been the subject of much speculation.
In a search for parental relationships, microsatellite loci were
analyzed in more than 300 grape cultivars. Sixteen wine grapes that
have long been grown in northeastern France, including `Chardonnay',
`Gamay noir', `Aligoté', and `Melon', have microsatellite
genotypes consistent with their being the progeny of a single pair of
parents, `Pinot' and `Gouais blanc', both of which were widespread
in this region in the Middle Ages. Parentage analysis at 32 microsatellite loci provides statistical support for these
relationships.
