A very old grape variety that has been cultivated for a long time in Italy and Switzerland (cantons of Valais and Vaud), and is now clearly on the way out.

According to A.D.N. analyses (J.F. Vouillamoz), its parents include white gouais, furmint, harslevelu, savagnin blanc, sylvaner, etc.

The wine region of Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

Clos de Burgundy/cote-de-nuits/vougeot">Vougeot (sometimes "Clos Vougeot") is the largest – and one of the most famous – grand cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Northern Burgundy. It covers 50. 9 hectares (125 acres) of land and is second only in Size to Corton across the entire Côte d'Or. Clos de Vougeot is famously fragmented – it is divided into 100 different parcels owned by more than 80 producers – and its wines vary considerably in Character and quality.

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.
