Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru Red 2021 | Wine from Chateau De La Tour

The Château de La Tour is an emblematic property of Burgundy, located in the heart of Clos de Vougeot. Since 1890, the Labet and Déchelette family has held this unique estate, cultivating its 5.5 hectares of vines using organic farming. As the only estate to vinify its wines within the walls of the Clos, the Château de la Tour produces wines of rare finesse and complexity, revealing the full richness of an exceptional layering of terroirs, which gives each vintage unparalleled depth and elegance.

The Labet family perpetuates a traditional know-how. This estate is the only one to vinify and bottle its wines inside the Clos, in the pure tradition of the monks' era. Under the direction of François and Édouard Labet, the estate continues to produce wines of rare finesse and remarkable complexity.

The Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru Rouge 2021 perfectly embodies the excellence of this prestigious terroir. Made from organically grown Pinot Noir vines offering intense aromas of dark fruits, accompanied by delicate notes of spices. On the palate, it stands out for its liveliness, supported by an elegant tannic structure. The finish is exceptionally long, striking a perfect balance between freshness and complexity.

Tasting notes:

• Nose: Intense aromas of dark fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) with touches of spices (pepper, nutmeg).
• Palate: Fresh and lively, with a beautiful tannic structure, clean flavors, and a silky texture that evolves into a long finish, marked by notes of ripe fruits and delicate spices.

This Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru 2021 pairs perfectly with a herb-roasted beef, a truffle risotto, a roasted duck breast, as well as aged cheeses such as Comté or Époisses.
