Discover the grape variety: Meslier Saint-François
Meslier Saint François is a French grape variety that comes from the Gatinais, located south of the Paris basin. It was obtained from a cross between Chenin and Gouais Blanc. It is planted on a surface area of 50 ha in France and is often confused with Arbois, hence the synonym it shares with the latter, Orbois. Its berries and clusters are of normal size. Its adult leaves have convex teeth. Meslier Saint François is not very vigorous, but it remains fertile. It buds early, 3 days before Chasselas. It is often exposed to spring frosts and is susceptible to oidium and grey rot. Meslier Saint François produces flat, light wines with little alcohol. When distilled, its eaux de vie are full of bouquet and fine. It can thus be used in the blending of grape varieties that produce cognac or armagnac.

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.
