“Karen, can you explain the word ‘clos?’”—Paul V. (Astoria, OR)
Yes Paul, clos is the French term for an enclosed or walled vineyard. Clos St. Hune in Alsace and Clos de Vougeot in Burgundy are examples. Often the physical walls of the clos no longer exist, but the history and the name of the vineyard remain with the wine.
