Clos de Vougeot
The Clos de Vougeot is a vast, single-piece vineyard enclosure, surrounded by walls and located at the foot of the Côte de Nuits slope, in the commune of Vougeot. Its terroir varies markedly from top to bottom: thin, gravelly soils on Bajocian limestone in the upper part, more clayey brown soils on limestone debris in the middle, and deeper, clayey and silty soils on a marly layer in the lower part. The site simultaneously constitutes a physically demarcated Burgundian climat and the emblematic parcel area of the AOC Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot or Clos Vougeot.

Histoire de la parcelle
The wine estate was gradually established by the Cistercian abbey of Cîteaux starting from the early 12th century; a medieval agreement set boundaries that have remained almost unchanged, and the wall was built before the end of that century. The farm buildings were developed from the 12th to the 15th century, then complemented in 1551 by the Renaissance residence that became the château du Clos de Vougeot. The abbey kept the estate until the Revolution; the buildings and vineyards were confiscated and then sold as national property in 1791, subsequently leading to the fragmentation of the property. The appellation d'origine contrôlée Clos de Vougeot or Clos Vougeot was recognized by decree on July 31, 1937.
