Chateau de la Tour
Chateau de la Tour
France • Burgundy
The historic and prestigious Domaine of Chateau de La Tour, located in the hamlet of Vougeot in the Cote de Nuits, is the largest landowner, with 15 Acres or 12% of the entire Grand Cru. Farmed since 1100, the estate was founded in 1889, after the grandfather of the rent owners became one of the six buyers who acquird the vineyards of the famed Clos de Vouget.
Francois Labet has managed the Domaine since 1984 and converted the vineyard to organic farming in 1990, a rarity within the Clos. The wines are made from whole cluster fermentation and are aged 18 months in custom barrels from a singular cooper.
The vineyard comprises a large parcel South of the Chateau in the center of the Clos, a prime plot at the top, with a last holding of a few ow of vine at the bottom of the Clos, extending to RN74.
Chateau de La Tour produces two wines, Clos-Vougeot and Clos-Vougot ViellesVignes. A third Cuvee, Hommage A Jean Morin, is made only in exceptional years since 2010. Chateau de La Tour is the only wineryin the Clos itself, and is undoubtedly amongst the top Clos-Vougeots.
