Château de la Tour Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2017

From vines at least 80 years old right across the property, not just the principal block. The cuvée will represent about 8000 bottles. Generous rich purple, the nose offering something more sumptuous than the Classique. It starts discreetly though with a certain plumpness, then it opens out quite forcefully on the palate to much more structure behind. Then sweetly oaked, just needs an ounce more drive to it. 100% new wood.
