Clos de Vougeot (sometimes "Clos Vougeot") is the largest – and one of the most famous – grand cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits subregion of northern Burgundy. It covers 50.9 hectares (125 acres) of land and is second only in size to Corton across the entire Côte d'Or. Clos de Vougeot is famously fragmented – it is divided into 100 different parcels owned by more than 80 producers – and its wines vary considerably in character and quality.
The site dominates the Vougeot appellation in the centre of the Côte de Nuits. The grand cru Musigny, Echezeaux, and Grands-Echezeaux vineyards are on the slopes above Clos de Vougeot, covering its western border.

The bouquet is of quite exceptional aromatic intensity in which the concentrated perfumes of rich red and black fruits (cherries, mulberries, blackcurrants), vanilla and spices, woodland undergrowth, violets and, with age, animal pelts, all mingle and combine.
In the mouth this ample, meaty, muscular wine achieves perfect balance between fine tannins, mellowness, and a discreet acidity; the complex aromas linger very long in the mouth.
