Abstract: We present the partition function of Chern-Simons theory with the exceptional gauge group on three-sphere in the form of a partition function of the refined closed topological string with relation $2au=g_s(1-b)$ between single K"ahler parameter $au$, string coupling constant $g_s$ and refinement parameter $b$, where $b=frac53,frac52,3,4,6$ for $G_2,F_4,E_6,E_7,E_8$, respectively. The non-zero BPS invariants $N_{J_L,J_R}^d$ ($d$ - degree) are $N_{0,frac12}^2=1,N_{0,1}^{11}=1$. Besides these terms, partition function of Chern-Simons theory contains term corresponding to the refined constant maps of string theory. Derivation is based on the universal (in Vogel's sense) form of a Chern-Simons partition function on three-sphere, restricted to exceptional line $Exc$ with Vogel's parameters satisfying $$. This line contains points, corresponding to the all exceptional groups. The same results are obtained for $F$ line $$ (containing $SU(4),SO(10)$ and $E_6$ groups), with the non-zero $N_{0,frac12}^2=1,N_{0,1}^7=1$. In both cases refinement parameter $b$ ($=-epsilo{n}_2/epsilo{n}_1$ in terms of Nekrasov's parameters) is given in terms of universal parameters, restricted to the line, by $$.
