Château de la Tour – founded in 1890 – owns a shade more than one-tenth of the hallowed Clos de Vougeot; a much-vaunted grand cru which spans a substantial 50ha.
The château was established in 1890 by Monsieur Beaudet of Beaune, and today it is steered by the Labet family whose lineage directly connects to the original founder.
Burgundy authority Jasper Morris MW meets François and Edouard Labet to discuss the family’s guardianship of the estate and the design behind the wines.
Château de la Tour makes two cuvées: a Classique and a Vieilles Vignes (born from a parcel of vines planted in 1910), and three vintages of each have been made available to digital members as an accompanying tasting kit.
Wines:
- Cuvée Classique 2018
- Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2018
- Cuvée Classique 2017
- Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2017
- Cuvée Classique 2016
- Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2016
