The 2022 Château de la Tour Clos Vougeot Grand Cru “Cuvée Classique” is a benchmark Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of the largest and most historic Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. Produced by the largest landowner within Clos Vougeot and vinified entirely on-site, it reflects both tradition and precision, with organic farming and a blend of parcels delivering a complete expression of this complex terroir.
The nose is refined and layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, raspberry and plum, complemented by notes of spice, orange zest, incense and subtle earthy hints of truffle. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a silky, enveloping texture and supple tannins. Ripe dark fruit is balanced by freshness and a mineral backbone, giving both depth and elegance. The finish is long, smooth and precise, with a saline lift and lingering spice.
The style is more polished and approachable than many Clos Vougeot wines, while still retaining the structure and concentration expected of a Grand Cru. Built for aging, it has the substance to evolve beautifully over 15–20+ years.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Burgundy for customers seeking a Grand Cru Pinot Noir with both power and finesse. Ideal for those who enjoy structured Côte de Nuits wines or premium Pinot Noir with aging potential. This is not a simple red—it’s about depth, terroir and evolution. Best decanted if drinking young or cellar long-term. Perfect with duck, lamb, game or classic French cuisine.
