About Clos Du Val
Clos Du Val (French for “small vineyard estate of a small valley”) is located in Napa Valley's Stags Leap District, close to the town of Napa, California. Franco-American entrepreneur John Goelet and French winemaker Bernard Portet founded Clos De Val in 1972 following a worldwide search for ideal vineyard properties to grow classic French varietals. Clos Du Val consists of 150 acres in the Stags Leap District and 180 acres in the Carneros region.
Clos Du Val wines includes “Classic”, a collection of its most popular Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot and newly released Sauvignon Blanc. This approachable collection exemplifies Clos Du Val wines' timeless style. “Winemaker's Signature Series” are very limited and truly unique, with each wine bearing the signature of its maker, while showing graceful elegance and the independent nature of Clos Du Val. “Reserve” wines are blended for style, grace and longevity and are the ultimate expression of the vintage, with a very limited amount produced only in years of exceptional quality. “Flagship” wines are limited in production, the Clos Du Val Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon showcases a true sense of its terroir.
The Three Graces (Splendor, Mirth and Joy) have adorned Clos Du Val's labels since 1972. These mythical daughters of Zeus were said to preside over Olympian banquets, spreading good cheer and raising a glass to prosperity, happiness, health and good fortune for all.
