Etymology

This vineyard belonged to the Dukes of Burgundy whose properties were eventually acquired by the King of France, Louis X1. In 1477, when the last Duke of Burgundy Charles the Bold died, the vines of the Ducal Crown passed into Royal ownership and then the vineyards owned at Aloxe-Corton and Beaune became known as Clos du Roi. Clos (masculine noun, 12th century, from Latin CLAUSUM “closed place, closing”). Generally speaking a clos is a cultivated or uncultivated plot, a garden next to or surrounding a dwelling, partly or entirely surrounded by hedges, walls or ditches. We find the word Clos with this meaning in some lieux-dits of the Burgundy vineyards. http://www.degustateurs.pro/article-entre-mythe-et-realite-le-corton-clos-du-roi-125214671.html
