The 2022 Château de la Tour Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes is a distinguished Grand Cru Burgundy crafted from old-vine Pinot Noir within the historic Clos de Vougeot vineyard. Produced by Château de la Tour, one of the few estates based inside the Clos itself, this wine reflects the depth, structure and complexity that have made this celebrated Grand Cru site one of Burgundy’s most recognised appellations.
The nose is intense and layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside notes of rose petal, forest floor, spice and subtle oak. On the palate, it is concentrated yet finely balanced, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and impressive depth of flavour. Dark berry fruit, earthy nuances and mineral undertones carry through a long, refined finish that highlights both power and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Burgundy for collectors and Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a classic Grand Cru expression. Its structure and complexity make it an excellent match for duck, roast game birds, beef Wellington or mushroom-based dishes. While already captivating with decanting, this wine will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years and beyond.
