Clos

/kloʊ/ noun

Definition

A small enclosed vineyard or field, especially one surrounded by walls, often used in French wine regions like Burgundy.

Etymology

From French 'clos,' which comes from the Latin 'clausus' meaning 'closed' or 'enclosed.' It literally refers to enclosed land, historically walled to protect grapes from animals and theft.

Kelly Says

Wine snobs will mention 'Clos de Vougeot' or other famous enclosed vineyards in Burgundy because these walled properties have continuous wine-making history going back to medieval monks—the walls aren't just pretty, they're centuries old!
