Clos de Vougeot Château de Clos de Vougeot One of the gates of the wall surrounding Clos de Vougeot History[edit] The Clos de Vougeot vineyard was created by Cistercian monks of Cîteaux Abbey, the order's mother abbey. The land making up the vineyard was purchased by the Cistercians, or donated to them, from the 12th century to the early 14th century. The initial vineyard consisted of donations in 1109 to 1115.[3] The vineyard was complete, and a wall had been built around it, by the year 1336.[1] It served as the flagship vineyard of the Cistercians, and has been a highly recognised name for centuries. Château de Clos de Vougeot, situated inside the wall, was added in 1551 by rebuilding and enlarging a small chapel and some other buildings previously existing at the site. One of the 1889 vineyard buyers, Léonce Bocquet, also bought the château, and initiated renovations of a part of it.
