The 2019 Château de la Tour Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Hommage à Jean Morin is an exceptionally rare Pinot Noir produced only in outstanding vintages from selected parcels within the historic Clos Vougeot Grand Cru. Crafted by Château de la Tour, the only estate to vinify its wines within the Clos itself, this special cuvée reveals layered aromas of black plum, dark cherry and wild berries, complemented by floral notes, warm spice, orange zest and earthy minerality.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and deeply concentrated, with finely textured tannins, vibrant acidity and remarkable precision. Rich flavours of dark fruit, forest floor, liquorice and subtle spice unfold seamlessly, while its mineral backbone and impressive structure lead to an exceptionally long, refined finish. Built for longevity, the wine balances power with elegance and continues to reveal new layers as it opens in the glass.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a truly collectible Grand Cru Burgundy for serious Pinot Noir enthusiasts and long-term cellaring. Decant if opening in its youth, or cellar through 2030–2055 to allow its complexity to fully develop. Pair with roast pigeon, venison, beef Wellington or wild mushroom dishes.
