<ul>
<li>Domaine de l'Espiguette (IFV), Le Grau de Roi (Gard),</li>
<li>Domaine de Vassal (INRA), Marseillan (Hérault),</li>

<ul>
<li>bud burst, 21 March (average over 50 years)</li>
<li>grape maturity, 14 August (average over 50 years)</li>
</ul>

Bud burst: 2 days before Chasselas.
Grape maturity: early-season, 1 week after Chasselas.
