Clos Saint Joseph: a historic craft distillery in Meursault

Estate name

Clos Saint Joseph

Wine region

Burgundy, Côte de Beaune

Appellations and terroirs

Located in the heart of Meursault, an emblematic village of the Côte de Beaune, Clos Saint Joseph is part of a setting historically tied to wine and distilling. While Meursault is world-renowned for its great whites, over the centuries the village has also been home to négociant and distilling houses. Clos Saint Joseph carries on this local tradition, working with rigorously selected raw materials closely linked to Burgundy's agricultural and wine production.

Signature grape varieties

The distilling work relies mainly on wine bases made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, complemented by botanical and fruit macerations depending on the spirit being made.

Philosophy and history

Founded in 1840, Clos Saint Joseph is a historic Meursault house originally devoted to négociant and distilling activities. After several decades of dormancy, the site was taken over in 2014 by Charles-Guillaume and Blandine Simon, who undertook a complete restoration of the property and its cellars. Their ambition is clear: to bring a Burgundian craft distillery back to life, drawing on respect for traditional know-how, mastery of long timescales and a demanding approach to raw materials.

Production methods

Distilling is now at the heart of Clos Saint Joseph. In 2019 the house acquired its own still, giving it complete independence in producing its spirits. Distillations are carried out in small quantities, with precise control of temperatures and cuts, to preserve the aromatic finesse and balance of the eaux-de-vie. The recipes favour natural ingredients, slow macerations and suitable ageing, whether in tanks, demijohns or casks, depending on the profile sought.

Recognition

Clos Saint Joseph's spirits appeal to discerning enthusiasts and to professionals with a taste for small-scale, craft production. Their precise, clear and restrained style is regularly singled out for its accuracy and coherence. The house is gradually establishing itself as a discreet benchmark among independent French distilleries, thanks to an approach founded on rigour and consistent quality.

In Meursault, Clos Saint Joseph embodies a demanding and measured vision of distilling, in which each cuvée is conceived as a pure expression of its raw material. Far from standardised production, the house stands for patient, attentive and deeply artisanal work, aimed at enthusiasts looking for spirits with character, precision and authenticity.
