The 2022 Château de la Tour Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Hommage à Jean Morin is an exceptionally limited Pinot Noir produced only from the estate's oldest vines in outstanding vintages within the historic Clos Vougeot Grand Cru. Crafted by Château de la Tour, the only producer to vinify and mature its wines inside the Clos itself, this rare cuvée reveals intense aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry, violet, orange zest and subtle spice, underpinned by the vineyard's signature earthy minerality.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and remarkably refined, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive concentration. Layers of dark berries, forest floor, liquorice and gentle oak unfold seamlessly, while the old-vine fruit provides exceptional depth and precision. The finish is long, structured and mineral-driven, built for graceful ageing over many decades.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a truly collectible Grand Cru Burgundy for serious Pinot Noir enthusiasts and long-term cellaring. While approachable with careful decanting, it is best enjoyed from 2030 onwards and has the structure to evolve through 2055. Pair with roast pigeon, venison, beef Wellington or wild mushroom dishes.
