Description

The oldest trace of Clos de la Mousse dates back to 1220, when Canon Edme de Saudon bequeathed it to the Chapter of Notre-Dame de Beaune. This beautiful vineyard was fragmented during the French Revolution. During the 19th century, the Bouchard family made several acquisitions to gain exclusive rights to this delicate classified vineyard. The entire 3.36 ha of this enclosed vineyard were brought together on April 13, 1872, with the acquisition of the final plot measuring ‘0.5 acres and 1 m2’. Since then, it has remained the exclusive property of Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils. Today, one can still admire its surrounding wall and the small house nestled in the heart of the vineyard.
