Domaine Moine-Hudelot
Moine-Hudelot was a family-run estate in Chambolle-Musigny, in the Côte de Nuits, managed by Daniel Moine-Hudelot, the former mayor of the village. The estate, known in particular for its plots in the Chambolle-Musigny appellation and its more limited production of grands crus, was acquired in 2008 and no longer exists as an independent entity.
Histoire du domaine
The Moine-Hudelot estate was based in Chambolle-Musigny, in the Côte de Nuits. According to available sources, its origins date back to the 1930s, centred on a small family-run estate of 3.5 hectares established by Jean Hudelot. Daniel Moine, who did not come from a family of winegrowers, took over the management in 1970 and expanded the estate. The Guide Vert published by the Revue du Vin de France reported in 2001 that the estate had 6 hectares of vineyards and an annual production of 32,000 bottles. The estate produced, in particular, Chambolle-Musigny premiers crus, as well as small quantities of Musigny and Bonnes-Mares. In 1990, part of the family’s Musigny vineyards was sold to Lalou Bize-Leroy; another plot in Musigny was subsequently sold to the Drouhin-Laroze estate. Daniel Moine-Hudelot retired in 2008. In the same year, Patrick Landanger, then owner of the Domaine de la Pousse d’Or, acquired the Domaine Moine-Hudelot; its vineyards were incorporated into that other estate.
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.
