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.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 91-93/100 “The 2022 Clos Vougeot Cuvée Classique Grand Cru includes around 50 % whole clusters. This has a very well-defined bouquet with black cherries, raspberry, briar and light truffle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresh and saline, silky smooth and what feels like a more approachable Clos Vougeot as Edouard Labet intends. Yet it has the substance to age over 15-20 years.”
Bourgogne Ajourd'hui (February-March 2025): 16.5/20 "Fine, spicy, liquorice nose with notes of black cherries. Delicious, greedy, tender palate with silky tannins and intense fruit. Long, delicate finish."
More- To keep or to drink:
- Wait 5 to 10 years

The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 94/100 “Accessible and dense, clos-de-vougeot is spicy and tender on the attack: concentration arrives mid-palate with a full-bodied, firm, minty finish.”
Vinous (N.Martin - November 2022): 90-92/100 "The 2021 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Cuvée Classique has a bright and quite lively bouquet, red and black fruit, juniper and hawthorn. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, taut and fresh, brown spices infusing the peppery, tobacco-tinged finish. It needs to cohere a little before bottling, though the racking will assist that."
Bourgogne Ajourd'hui (February-March 2025): 16/20 "Fragrant, rich nose with lovely floral and fruity notes. Intense on the palate, with a fruity attack that stretches into a long finish with a subtle hint of toast".
