Clos

From Wikipedia:
"Clos, from the French for Closure or enclosed, is a walled vineyard used to protect the grapes from theft as well as improving the mesoclimate. Often founded by Cistercians monks. The word is often used in the name of famous wines even when the wall no longer exists."
 We see this a lot on wine bottles. For example, Clos La Coutale.
