Château du Clos de Vougeot

Built in the 12th century by the monks of the Abbey of Cîteaux in the heart of the vineyards on the Route des Grands Crus, the Château du Clos de Vougeot today welcomes lovers of history, architecture and wine.

Although the Château du Clos de Vougeot no longer produces wine, it remains the symbol of almost a thousand years of Burgundian history.

An exceptional historic monument, the Château du Clos de Vougeot is the Chief of Order of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin.
