Other textThe Clos Blanc, a mythical, mystical vineyard, is adjacent to the Chateau du Clos de Vougeot. This golden triangle, surrounded on all sides by great reds, first offered its pure, golden sacrament to its spiritual fathers, the first monks of Citeaux, in 1110. Known as The White Vineyard, it is like a diamond set in the centre of rubies. HISTORY: As old as the Clos de Vougeot, The Clos Blanc de Vougeot was Citeaux Abbey's song of praise. The monks planted the first vines nine centuries ago, and the white wine pressed from the golden grapes filled the abbey-church's cruets for almost 700 years. Such precious drops of gold, blinding and rare, are like an island of Chardonnay in an ocean of Pinot Noir... A single violin at the heart of an orchestra. The Clos Blanc de Vougeot used to be known as the Petit Clos Blanc de Citeaux, or simply Vougeot's white vineyard. Like the Clos de Vougeot, it was founded by the monks of Citeaux, which was constructed on the nearby plain in 1098. Saint Bernard was almost certainly present at the first harvests in Vougeot, which date back to 1110. This vineyard has always been planted with white grapes, a tradition started when the Citeaux monks planted the forerunners of today's Chardonnay to produce a white wine for their sacrament. This walled vineyard is special for another very rare reason. Despite the French Revolution in 1789 when national property was sold off, the Clos Blanc de Vougeot remained a monopole, an undivided property. Nurtured by Jules Ouvrard then Jules Regnier in the 19th Century, it belonged to L'Heritier-Guyot - Domaine De La Vougeraie Vougeot 1er Cru Clos Blanc De Vougeot 2005 750ml - Cote De Nuits Vougeot
