Most of the vines form the \u003cstrong\u003eClos de Vougeot\u003c\/strong\u003e, a red-only Grand Cru of about 50 hectares that borders Musigny and Grands-Échezeaux at its upper edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard was born with the abbey of \u003cstrong\u003eCîteaux\u003c\/strong\u003e, mother house of the Cistercians, founded in 1098. From the early twelfth century the monks bought land in Vougeot and in time enclosed the largest part of it with a wall: this is the Clos, which remained theirs until the Revolution. In the château of the Clos, whose Renaissance main building dates from 1551, the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin holds its chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorth of the Clos lie about 16 hectares of Village and Premier Cru vines. There are four \u003cstrong\u003ePremiers Crus\u003c\/strong\u003e: Les Petits Vougeots; Les Crâs, a local name for stony ground; the Clos de la Perrière, planted in the monks' old quarry; and Le Clos Blanc, which almost coincides with the lieu-dit La Vigne Blanche and, according to tradition, has always been planted with Chardonnay for the abbey's altar wine. White, rare in the Côte de Nuits, takes up about a third of this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Village and Premier Cru reds have deep color, polished tannins, and aromas of violet and small berries, which give way to forest floor over the years. The whites, dry yet substantial, have floral notes such as acacia.
