Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes Château de La Tour 2010

The wine

The vines used for Château de la Tour’s Cuvée Vieilles Vignes du Clos Vougeot were planted in 1910. To mark its centenary, the Hommage à Jean Morin cuvée was created using the finest grape clusters from each vine. The wine’s very distinguished, well-blended tannins take it up another level.
