Discover the grape variety: Scheurebe
German grape variety obtained in 1916 by Georg Shere (1879/1949). It was given until then as coming from a cross between Riesling and Sylvaner, but genetic tests have shown that its father is the Bouquettraube (Bukettrebe), and it is closely related to the Kerner. The Scheurebe can be found in Austria, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, Slovenia, Great Britain, the United States (California, Virginia, ...), Canada (Ontario, British Columbia, ...), ... practically unknown in France.

The wine region of Vougeot
Vougeot is a small, 88-hectare (217-acre) commune in the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits sub-region. The tiny Village, wedged between Vosne-Romanée to the South and Chambolle-Musigny to the North, is dominated by 51 hectares (126 acres) of Grand Cru Vineyard: the iconic Clos de Vougeot. The remainder is given over four Premier Cru sites and a tiny enclave of basic, village-level Vougeot The main site - the Clos de Vougeot vineyard and its attendant château buildings - covers three quarters of vineyard land in the Central and southern portion of the appellation. However, much like Echezeaux nearby, its Size has diluted its reputation and most commentators recommend acquiring wines from known plots within the clos or from well-regarded producers here.
The wine region of Burgundy
Bourgogne is the catch-all regional appellation title of the Burgundy wine region in eastern France ("Bourgogne" is the French name for Burgundy). Burgundy has a Complex and comprehensive appellation system; counting Premier Cru and Grand Cru titles, the region has over 700 appellation titles for its wines. Thus, Burgundy wines often come from one Vineyard (or several separate vineyards) without an appellation title specific to the region, Village or even vineyard. A standard Burgundy wine may be made from grapes grown in one or more of Burgundy's 300 communes.
The word of the wine: Musty (taste of)
A disgusting taste due to a defect in the grapes or, more commonly, a defect in the barrel.
