Histoire du domaine
Remoissenet Père et Fils was founded in Beaune in 1877 and established itself in a historic 14th-century building in the heart of the town. The company remained in the Remoissenet family until 2005. During the final decades of this period, Roland Remoissenet was at the helm. When he retired in 2005, the company, its cellars, stocks and vineyards were acquired by a group led by the American financier Edward L. Milstein. The reorganisation that followed included the appointment of Bernard Repolt as managing director and the arrival of oenologist Claudie Jobard ahead of the 2005 grape harvest. In 2008, the company reacquired plots in several Côte de Nuits appellations, including Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Charmes-Chambertin and Clos de Vougeot. Remoissenet Père et Fils now operates as both a wine estate and a wine merchant, producing wine from grapes grown on its own vineyards as well as from grapes selected from partner growers. Recent legal filings identify Edward Milstein as the managing director of Remoissenet Père et Fils SCS, of which Remoissenet Holdings Ltd is the general partner.
Les Clos
Les Clos is one of the seven officially recognized Climats within the Chablis Grand Cru appellation and the largest of them all, covering nearly 26 hectares. It occupies the entire height of the hillside on the right bank of the Serein and benefits from a south-westerly exposure as well as a relatively steep slope. The soils become more stony and chalky towards the top, while they are deeper and more clayey at the bottom. On the general scale of Chablis Grand Cru, the hillside rests on Kimmeridgian marls and limestones containing Exogyra virgula fossils, but this geology is not detailed separately for Les Clos by the sources consulted.

Histoire de la parcelle
The terroir was planted with vines before 1267 and may constitute the original core of the Chablis vineyard farmed by the Cistercians of Pontigny. Its former name forms evoke the walls that demarcated properties, limited erosion and protected the vines. Les Clos has been cited since the 19th century among the finest crus of Burgundy; the Chablis Grand Cru appellation was recognized on January 13, 1938.
