Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Domaine ChÂteau De La Tour, 2017

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Domaine Château de la Tour is a compelling expression of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated vineyard sites, offering the depth, structure, and finesse that collectors look for in a top-tier red Burgundy. The 2017 vintage highlights the domaine’s classically precise style and the historic prestige of Clos de Vougeot, one of the Côte de Nuits’ most iconic Grand Cru appellations.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby core with youthful garnet reflections. The nose is layered and refined, with aromas of ripe red cherries, wild berries, violet, and subtle earthy notes, often joined by hints of spice, forest floor, and well-judged oak. On the palate, the wine is elegant yet structured, combining concentrated red fruit with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a long, savory finish. While enjoyable in youth for its energy and purity, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru has the density and balance to age gracefully for many years, often developing more complex truffle, game, and sous-bois character with time.

Production
This Grand Cru comes from Clos de Vougeot, a historic walled vineyard in Burgundy known for its varied soils and complex micro-terroirs, which can range from limestone-rich upper slopes to deeper, more clay-driven sections lower down. Domaine Château de la Tour, one of the estate’s key names, is known for careful parcel selection and traditional craftsmanship, with harvesting carried out by hand to preserve fruit quality. Vinification is typically focused on respecting site expression, with gentle extraction and ageing in oak barrels to support structure and aromatic depth without masking the vineyard character.

Food & Serving
This wine is a superb match for refined dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, game birds, braised lamb, beef fillet, or mushroom-based dishes with rich sauces. It is best served at around 16–18°C, and decanting for about 1–2 hours is recommended if drinking young, to allow the aromas to open and the tannins to soften.
