Nestled at the mouth of a valley offering some of the most beautiful scenery in the Côte d'Or, this V-shaped vineyard offers a diversity of styles depending on exposure. Of ancient origin, it was once the property of the ducal estate, neighboring abbeys and the Knights of Malta. The presence of an imposing 14th-century château testifies to the historical importance and prestige of the cru.

The nicely sized parcel is located close to the Rhoin river. In the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, the name "Aux Clous" referred to a "clos", a term used to designate gardens, often surrounded by walls, which gradually gave way to vineyards.
