About
The birthplace of winegrowing in Burgundy, the Chateau du Clos de Vougeot began in the 12th century as a winery built by monks from the Abbey of Citeaux. In 1551, a residential building in the renaissance style was added by Dom Jean Loisier, justifying the name of “ chateau ”. A Historic Monument, the Chateau du Clos de Vougeot is home to the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin and seat of the “ Climats ” of Burgundy (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). As a backdrop to receptions, weddings and cocktail parties, the Cistercian and renaissance walls of the Chateau make it one of France’s most outstanding table d’hotes, as well as an exceptional venue for prestigious cultural events. OPENING HOURS Open to the public seven days a week April to October : 9.00a.m.- 6.30p.m. (Saturday : 9.00a.m.- 5.00p.m.) November to March : 10.00a.m.- 5.00p.m. Closed on December 24th, 25th, 31st and January 1st.

Some great history and info here for those that love wine and how it is done. The chateau does not make wine anymore but rather hosts lavish parties for 250 euros per person I was told with 8 diff wines during the course of the meal. Another cheaper option is to make a reservation and have lunch here with 6 diff wines and then a guided tour in French after. We opted for the self guided tour as it was later in the day and thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended place to visit!

the setting of the machinery and the techniques for producing wine is charming and aesthetically powerful: the perfectly conserved machines and tools and the setting of the place, so well preserved, are interesting also for people not expert in wine.
the building is beautiful and the scenery of the vineyards very charming.
If you are a wine enthusiast, the wine tasting (to be booked) adds depth to the experience.
After the visit, I advise to go to Nuits-Saint-Georges, a small village close by (8 minutes driving), well conserved, cured, not extremely touristic, perfect for dinner.

A magical place and a stunning château that is steeped in history. Beautifully preserved and maintained. We visited on one of the evenings of the Festival Musique & Vin au Clos Vougeot, and equally enjoyed the dégustation of amazing wines from the Burgundy region in the grange and the concert in the castle’s main hall afterwards. The château is also worth a regular visit.

The castle is interesting. However only 3/5 because 1st the reception was unhelpful and worse 1 woman (guide) was hostile rude and impatient. I am a 70 year old Canadian, not usually thought to be stupid, and pretty good in French but she had me in tears.
What we eventually learned was to follow the arrows - the first is not easy to find, and that the numbers on the self-guiding brochure do not indicate the order of the tour. Ask about the time of the film if you want to see it. The film is about the order of winetasters, not much about the Chateau. It’s in the middle of the tour, but you may want to time your arrival there, esp if you want to watch in English (every 40 min. Finally there is an written/audio-guide which the app and tour are independently provided on your celphone and best downloaded ahead of time. The app is Balades en Bourgogne, then download the “guided tour of the Chateau du Clos de Vougeot.” There is quite a display of Gustav Eiffel in the dormitory. So many of the displays are unrelated to the chateau. The wine presses are impressive, but no info about them without the audioguide, or a guided tour.

I was so happy to finally have a chance to visit le Clos de Vougeot. So historical. I wish we had been able to take a guided tour but our timing was off. The young ladies at the front desk could not have been nicer or friendlier. And I told them how nice is was to be greeted with a warm smile.
I might have liked a bit more to see but all in all it was a wonderful visit. The view over the vinyeards in wildly impressive.

12th century wine building and wine presses, what more can I say? You can't possibly visit Burgundy without a trip here as it really helps to understand why Burgundy is so different to anywhere else.

Recently tried to visit Clos de Vougeot with a visitor. We had been there a few times before, but checked the closing time on its website - 6.30 pm. There is also the advice that an unaccompanied visit takes 30 minutes. We arrived at 5.40 and were refused entry, on the grounds that a visit takes 90 minutes!!! It doesn't, we know. The officiousness of the staff was unpleasant. When I pointed out the information provided on the website was incorrect, I was advised to tell Trip Advisor... you have just read it! It is worth visiting but beware the opening hours.

The CHATEAU CLOS DE VOUGEOT is one of the best atraction in Burgundy, near Beaune in the middle of the way between Beaune and Dijon. Don't miss it.

Quel est le montant d'un diner à un Chapître
Quel est le montant de la cotisation pour un membre ?
Written February 26, 2019
Bonjour,
1) Clos Vougeot : Chapitre : Il y a 16 chapitres par an qui ont lieu tous le soir, hormis celui-ci de la St Vincent qui aura lieu à Midi. Un chapitre c’est : Intronisation plus un Dîner en smoking pour hommes et robes pour femmes, animé par des discours, chants bourguignons et des cadets bourguignons. Celui-ci se termine à 1 heure du matin. Le repas comprend 5 plats et 5 vins. Le prix de celui-ci est de 255 Euros en tant que touriste
2) Cotisation : Déjà pour être membre, il faut être parrainé par deux membres actifs de la confrérie. La cotisation est de 330 Euros la première année et ensuite de 95 Euros par an. En tant que membre le prix du repas sera de 235 Euros et vous pouvez inviter 3 personnes qui ne sont pas membres.
3) Pour info : Et la saint vincent à Gevrey ? : Le repas de la st vincent à gevrey, vendredi soir samedi soir, sera supérieur à 255 euros. La différence est que celui-ci a lieu sous un chapiteau ou salle décorée mais ne pas confondre avec le clos vougeot ou la salle est plus belle. Idem pour les tenues, car il y a moins d’impératif pour la saint vincent
En conclusion, si j’ai un conseil à vous donner, préférez un chapitre, il y a plus de folklores, plutôt que le repas de la Saint Vincent.
Bonne journée
