Château de la Tour is the largest estate in Clos-Vougeot, a Très Grand de Bourgogne! "The Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2008 offers generous fruit. The wine is very silky and supple, with explosive aromas and a soft texture on the palate." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - RVF)

Rated estate (2012 guide) 6 stars (Exceptional production)
About the estate:
The only winery producing its own wine in the Clos, Château de la Tour is also the largest landowner with 6 hectares located in its upper part. The château was built in 1890 by the family's ancestors. The current owners are two sisters, Jacqueline Labet and Nicole Delechette, and the estate has been managed since 1986 by François, Jacqueline's son. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the wine was of little interest. It took the young François Labet to call on Guy Accad to produce remarkable wines, such as in 1987. After Guy Accad left, the estate continued to progress with the help of Jean-Pierre Confuron.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2011 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
This château is the only one located in the Clos de Vougeot, of which it is also the main owner. The estate began bottling in the 1930s. Having fallen sharply in quality in the 1970s and early 1980s, it rose sharply in quality when the young François Labet called on Guy Accad. Produced with the help of Sylvain Pataille since the 2009 vintage, the wine is now at its highest level. The vinification of whole grapes and aging in partially new barrels result in a high-quality product, on par with the greatest wines."
