Description

The Château du Clos de Vougeot is a château built between the 12th and the 16th centuries, in the Cistercian and Renaissance styles, located in the heart of the Clos-Vougeot vineyard at Vougeot (Burgundy), on the Route des Grands Crus linking Dijon and Beaune.

Listed as a historic monument since 1948 (a decree confirmed in 1949), it is managed by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. Having become in 2015 the seat of the Climats de Bourgogne, at the time of their inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, it is an emblematic place of the Burgundian vineyards and of Burgundian gastronomy.
