From the largest and most storied Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy, Clos de Vougeot, Chateau de la Tour stands as one of its most respected and consistent producers. The 2009 vintage, renowned for its generosity and balance, delivers a richly expressive style that need ageing and reward patient collectors.
The bouquet is open and seductive, revealing ripe black cherry, raspberry compote and plum, layered with notes of sweet spice, forest floor, cocoa, subtle savoury complexity and generous amount of oak influence. On the palate, the wine is full and enveloping, with silky, resolved tannins, supple acidity and impressive depth, carrying through to a long, harmonious finish.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
