The Château du Clos de Vougeot, founded around 1110 by the Abbey of Cîteaux, symbolizes a part of the history and wine-growing tradition of Burgundy. The Côte de Nuits enjoys an ideal geographical location. Good weather for the vines, rich geology and exceptional grape varieties allow world-renowned wine estates. Through the 84 appellations and the savoir-faire of the winegrowers, Burgundian traditions have been passed down from generation to generation.
