Almost 500 years of wine production, no wonder these sights and locations exist in paintings. They are worth to be protected for many centuries to come.

Vougeot: Architecture Photography
The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, a highly recognised name for centuries, 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. A wall had been built around it and was finished by the year 1336. The French revolution ended all the ownership of all the vinyards by the church. Nowadays about 80 owners share a part of the vineyard producing Burgundy Clos de Vougeot and Grand Cru wines.
Château du 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. From 1945, this building has served as headquarters of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin.
