Château du Clos is located in the heart of 'POUILLY', the hamlet of the village of Solutré-Pouilly that gave its name to the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. Since the 18th century, Chardonnay was already cultivated in POUILLY and produced wines of comparable reputation to those of Côte d'Or. Château du Clos has been owned by the family COMBIER since 1782. The current owner Jean-François COMBIER is the 8th generation owning the Château, and one of his ancestors was Léonard CHANDON. Léonard’s brother, Pierre-Gabriel, married Adélaïde MOET, and was at the origin of the famous Champagne House. From vintage 2012, Jean-François COMBIER entrusted the vines culture, the winemaking in the Chateau’s cellars and the exclusive distribution of Château du Clos to Maison Joseph BURRIER.
