Medieval calculation table, Chateau du Clos Vougeot

Medieval calculation table inscribed in the wall at the top of the staircase leading to the living quarters, in the Chateau du Clos Vougeot, built in Renaissance style in the 16th century, on the site of a 12th century winery built by monks from the nearby Abbey of Citeaux, Burgundy, France. The chateau sits in the Burgundy Clos de Vougeot vineyard, near the Route des Grands Crus between Dijon and Beaune in Cote-d'Or in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte. The chateau, which still houses a medieval vat-house and presses, Cistercian cellar and original kitchens, has been the headquarters of the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin since 1945. It is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
