Melon de Bourgogne (or simply Melon) is a white grape variety originating, as its name indicates, from the Burgundy region. It is better known as Muscadet, the name of the wine it produces.

But its history is quite particular, because its predominance in the Nantes region is the result of a terrible winter.
