What does CLOS DU VAL mean?!


Question: I believe it is the name of a vintner in northern California.


Answers: I believe it is the name of a vintner in northern California.

It is the name of a specific winery in the Napa Valley of California.

It translates as "enclosure of the valley".

When "clos" is used in the name of a vineyard, it usually means that the vineyard is enclosed or walled.

I think it's from upstate New York. Google it. As to what it actually means, I'd *loosely* translate it as being the wine cellar from the valley. I'm not sure about the 'clos' part - may be more of a clearing or something like that. They probably just chose the same to sound French / fancy anyhow! lol

'Clos' means a walled vinyard. 'Val' is French for valley.

Clos Du Val, a “small estate of a small valley”
