About Chateau de la Tour
This magnificent Chateau has a number of historical advantages over its neighbors in the Clos. The fact that Chateau de la Tour is the largest holder in the Clos, with 6 hectares of vineyards, means that it controls a significant chunk of the finest domains, mostly on the upper slopes of the Clos surrounding the Chateau just below Musigny. These magnificent vineyards are managed organically and have been done so for over 20 years! Decisively, this is the only producer to have its winery within the Clos itself and it is always a quality advantage to be close to your vines. Another factor is the age of the vines, for the most part between 60 and 100+ years old, which are classified as the oldest vines in the Clos. All, this, combined with Francois Labet s precise, 100% whole bunch winemaking, results in striking, classic wines of great breeding. The Vielles Vignes is one of the most powerful Vougeot s released each year while the classique - fine, pure, intense and long - is one of the finest value Grand Cru Burgundies going around. A producer of fine wine should always understand that the traditional, whole bunch fermentation results in structured wines that live forever and typically require a good decant when served young. They begin showing their best at ten plus years of age.
