Admire the sun setting over this superb château in the middle of the vineyards.
Situated at the heart of the Route des Grands Crus, Château du Clos de Vougeot stands out from afar for the majesty of its proportions. Enjoy the warm colours of autumn, or the sunset reflected on this superb château in the middle of the Côte de Nuits vineyards.
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 Head of Order of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin.

During your visit, you will have access to the 12th century vat house, the Petit Cellier and the Grand Cellier where the film "Jamais en Vain, Toujours en Vin" (Never in Vain, Always in Wine) by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, narrated by Pierre Arditi, is now being shown, as well as to the well located in the Renaissance wing.
Due to the lack of space, we are temporarily forced to close the Renaissance kitchens and the monks' dormitory.
To ensure the safety of our visitors, a strict protocol has been put in place:
- Wearing a mask is mandatory throughout the visit to the castle.
- During the self-guided tour, a signposted route will help to avoid any misdirection. We ask everyone to respect these signs.
- Pedal-operated hydroalcoholic gel dispensers are also installed throughout the tour circuit.
- All staff are made aware of the need to regularly disinfect items in contact with visitors and are equipped with anti-spray visors
- Finally, our cleaning team works daily throughout the Château du Clos de Vougeot following visits.
