    Vineyard

    Situated in the commune of Vougeot, the vineyard benefits from a unique Grand Cru classified terroir. The clay-limestone soils with favorable exposure enable a remarkable balance between freshness and power in the wines.

    This Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Château de la Tour 2020 is an exceptional red wine made from Pinot Noir. It is notable for its aromatic depth and tannic structure that ensure good aging potential, typical of the region’s Grand Cru wines.
