It covers 50. 9 hectares (125 acres) of land and is second only in Size to Corton across the entire Côte d'Or. Clos de Vougeot is famously fragmented – it is divided into 100 different parcels owned by more than 80 producers – and its wines vary considerably in Character and quality.

The site dominates the Vougeot appellation in the Center of the Côte de Nuits. The grand cru Musigny, Echezeaux and Grands-Echezeaux vineyards are on the slopes above Clos de Vougeot, covering its western border. Beyond the northern edge of the walled ("clos") site lie Vougeot's four Vougeot's four premier cru climats, covering a small 11. 7 hectares (29 acres) of the appellation.

Beyond these, further north, are the premier cru and village-level vineyards of Chambolle-Musigny. The Vouge stream originates near the commune border and flows Southeast, roughly along marking the boundary of the two areas.
