NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Château de la Tour's Vieilles Vignes Clos Vougeot Grand Cru presents a seductive deep ruby hue.Aromatically, it blossoms with a kaleidoscope of black cherries, wild strawberries, and nuances of rose petals. Layers of damp earth, truffle, and a whisper of smoky cedarwood hint at its Grand Cru lineage. On the palate, the wine is both dense and ethereal, unveiling flavors of dark fruits intermingled with notes of forest undergrowth and spice. Tannins, refined and integrated, give structure to the wine's opulent fruit core, while its acidity ensures a long, harmonious finish that reverberates with echoes of its storied terroir.
