Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2005 Chateau de La Tour
The Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2005 by Chateau de La Tour is a masterpiece of enology that embodies the essence of the prestigious terroir of the Côte de Nuits. Made from Pinot Noir grapes from historic vineyards, this wine represents one of the purest and most refined expressions of one of the largest and most renowned Grand Crus in Burgundy.
Clos de Vougeot is a mosaic of over 100 parcels, divided among about 80 owners. Chateau de La Tour, with its 6.5 hectares of vineyards, is the largest owner within the Clos and the only one to vinify and bottle its wines on site. The vines have an average age of about 60 years and are the result of careful massal selection from an ancient proprietary vineyard. The soil, composed of clay and limestone with chalky rocks in depth, gives the wine unique complexity and structure.
Harvesting is strictly manual, with careful selection of the grapes. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in a traditional way, followed by aging in oak barrels for 18 months, 50% of which are new. The winemaking process is meticulous, and the wine is bottled without fining or filtration to preserve the purity and integrity of the fruit.
In the glass, the Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2005 presents a deep ruby red color. On the nose, the bouquet is fascinating and complex, initially with delicate vanilla notes that evolve into pure aromas of fresh raspberries, moss, and soft spices. On the palate, the wine is sumptuous, with extraordinary velvetiness. The palate is rich with aromas that follow one another in a harmonious dance: red fruits, cinnamon, and a touch of butterscotch, almost like crème brûlée. The length is almost infinite, with a persistence that fascinates and invites further sips.
This powerful and long-lasting wine pairs well with rich and savory dishes, such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. It is a wine suited for special moments, a true homage to the Burgundy terroir and the winemaking mastery of Chateau de La Tour.
The Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2005 by Chateau de La Tour is not just a wine, but a sensory journey through the hills and vineyards of the Côte de Nuits, an experience that speaks of tradition, passion, and territory.
