CLOS DU BOIS

After travelling France’s wine regions, founder Frank Woods returned home inspired to marry the elegant French style of winemaking with his vibrant California fruit. Decades later, Clos du Bois continue to embrace this artisanal winemaking philosophy, earning a devoted following among those who love refined, approachable wines. Clos du Bois farm almost 800 acres in the vibrantly diverse wine regions of Sonoma County and Coastal California, working closely with trusted local growers. By sharing decades their boutique winemaking knowledge, technology and resources with each of these growers, they in turn ensure the integrity and effortless sophistication of each wine they create.

The Director of Winemaking at Clos du Bois, Gary Sitton’s deep appreciation of the art and science of agriculture can be traced back to growing up on his father’s pistachio farm. Earning an M.S. in Food Science: Oenology and Viticulture from UC Davis, Gary has spent his entire winemaking career in Sonoma County and takes great pride in capturing the essence of the region in every wine he creates.
