Chateau De La Tour Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2020 750 ML

Chateau de La Tour is a stunning and imposing Burgundian Chateau that stands as a testament to the power and prestige of the Clos Vougeot vineyard. Originally created by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, this historic walled vineyard was the flagship vineyard of the church until the French Revolution. Today, Chateau de la Tour boasts an unparalleled view of the former Cistercian manor. The estate has 6 hectares under their control and is the largest leaseholder of the Clos Vougeot, renowned for the intensity, strength, and perfume of its wine. The Labet family has carefully directed the property, maintaining its reputation as one of the most impressive sources of Clos Vougeot in the Cote de Nuits. Francois Labet, one of the region’s most important figures, owns the estate, which has a long history dating back to the late 19th century. The estate’s wines are known for their finesse and concentration, particularly the limited edition Vieilles Vignes cuvee, which is made from one hectare of ancient, low yielding Pinot Noir vines planted in 1910. All of Labet’s vines are treated with the utmost care and attention, and the property has been farmed organically since the early 1990s. A visit to Chateau de la Tour is a must for any wine lover looking to experience the magic of Clos Vougeot. Despite the movement and change across Burgundy in recent years, Chateau de la Tour has remained organic and quality-focused for decades, with slow and steady progress. The producer’s development over the last ten years has been significant, with a shift towards a finer, more approachable style of wine. Since 2013, the wines have become more luscious, layered, and with finer tannins, while retaining their terroir, power, and authenticity
