with its 50 hectares and its 82 owners, the clos de vougeot is the symbol par excellence of the burgundian vineyard divided. astablished at the beginning of the 12th century by the benedictine monks of citeaux, the clos de vougeot vineyard has remained virtually unchanged since the 15th century, when a wall was erected to enclose the vineyard. the nature and quality of the wines evolve greatly depending on its location and the owner. generally, it is considered that the upper part of the clos, at an altitude of 250 meters, gives more generous, complex wines. the clos de vougeot are harmonious, racy, elegant wines with a deep red color. they stand out for their bouquet of exceptional aromatic intensity, where concentrated scents of red and black fruits (cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants), undergrowth, violets and, with age, fur (hare's belly and musk) blend together. on the palate, these wines are full-bodied, fleshy, muscular and long, and generally have a good balance between fine tannins, softness and discreet acidity. in addition, in the great vintages, they have an exceptional ageing potential.
