History
In the early 19th century, Roublot made up a third of the area in Saint-Bris-le-Vineux in the west of Chablis. Saint-Bris-le-Vineux is a small picturesque village in Burgundy, France. Then the vines were wiped out in the phylloxera epidemic, and uniquely for Burgundy, were replaced by Sauvignon Blanc, the wines of which today are designated Saint-Bris AOC. This article is about the grape phylloxera For the Genus, see Phylloxera (genus. Sauvignon blanc is a green-skinned Grape variety which originates from the Bordeaux region of France.

Gouais Blanc was grown by the peasants in the less favoured sites, next to the better vineyards growing Pinot for their masters. This offered lots of opportunities for hybridisation, and the offspring benefited from hybrid vigour as the parents were genetically quite different.
The synonym César Blanc is interesting, as it reflects a traditional link with the ancient red grape César, a Pinot/Argant cross. César is an ancient red Wine Grape from northern Burgundy. It makes dark tannic wines that are softened by blending with Pinot Noir and sometimes Argant is an ancient variety of red Wine Grape. It originated in Spain and may have been taken to eastern France by the Romans
