Château de La Tour Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2012
The Chateau de la Tour was built in 1890 by the ancestors of the current owners : the Labet and Dechelette families. The surface of the Chateau's vineyards is 6 hectares, making it the largest of Clos de Vougeot. The wines of Chateau de la Tour Clos-Vougeot are balanced remarkable by their elegance and their deep ruby red colour which stems from the noblest variety : Pinot Noir. The palate will enjoy an explosion of dark berries, a perfect balance between soft and woody tanins, acidity, and mellow.

The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is fully mature on the nose, slightly earthy with light animal fur aromas. Fine lift. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm structure, impressive transparency and a slightly short, tart finish. But there is a breeziness to this Clos de Vougeot that is very seductive. Tasted at the Southwold Burgundy dinner at Hatched restaurant. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2023)
