Muscat Précoce de Saumur is a white variety of grape of French origin. It was first cultivated in 1842 by Auguste Courtiller (1795–1875) who created it by selecting seedlings from a Pinot Noir Précoce vine with open pollination. Courtiller worked in the Jardin des Plantes of the city of Saumur. Muscat Précoce de Saumur shows very early ripening which is indicated by the term précoce in its name.
