Melon de Bourgogne is also known by which regional wine name?

• A. Chardonnay
• B. Muscadet
• C. Sauvignon Blanc
• D. Pinot Blanc

Answer: (B)

Regional naming in wine often pairs a grape variety with a geographic label, so Melon de Bourgogne is the grape used to make Muscadet in the Loire Valley. In this case, the same vine is responsible for a wine that carries the Muscadet name rather than the grape name itself. The other options—Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Blanc—are distinct grape varieties and not the regional label for Melon de Bourgogne. Muscadet wines are typically dry, crisp, and high in acidity, often aged on the lees to add texture and subtle complexity.
