The cross was made between the variety 'Darselect', as the female parent, and 'Alba', as the male parent in 2007. In 2009, 'Marionnet 97' was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny based on its fruit appearance, firmness and flavour; and resistance to powdery mildew, in Loir-et-Cher, France. 'Marionnet 97' was first propagated by rootings of stolons in July 2009 in Loir-et-Cher, France.
