Owning the largest parcel (6 ha) of Clos Vougeot and the only producer vinifying and maturing its wines within the Clos, Château de la Tour is the custodian of the Clos Vougeot tradition. Always vinified unstemmed, its wines are powerful (certified organic from the 2021 vintage), structured and long-lasting.
Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France annual guide.
Vinous (January 2025): 91-93/100 “The 2023 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Cuvée Classique is picked plot by plot, with some destemmed and some whole cluster depending on the parcel-around 50% on average in the final blend. It has an attractive nose, displaying a mixture of red and black fruit, a little damp loam and light espresso scents in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins.There is not as much depth and grip as the previous vintage, but it's lightly spiced with a touch of black pepper ont the aftertaste. This is delightful and probably on par with the 2022, albeit in a different, more open style.”
