Château de la Tour holds the largest single parcel in the legendary Clos Vougeot, including a 1-hectare parcel of exceptionally old vines that produces just 2,400 bottles. The 2005 VV displays the architecture of a great Burgundy: a perfumed nose of black cherry, red berries, and minerals giving way to elegant dark chocolate notes and dried flowers. Aged 18-20 months in new oak, this wine demonstrates the precision and complexity that comes from working with ancient vineyard parcels and meticulous winemaking. A monument to Burgundy tradition.

Antonio Galloni

95 points

"Healthy full red. Ripe, rich nose offers a spectacular combination of red and darker fruits, minerals, spices, mocha, mint, dried flowers and underbrush, lifted by strong florality. Wonderfully concentrated, sappy, still-youthful wine with outstanding tactile depth and fruit retention to its flavors of cherry, redcurrant and crushed rock. Combines the energy and precision of the '08 with the greater volume of the '09. This compellingly chewy, extract-rich wine, still a bit brooding and short of its peak, expands and builds inexorably on the aftertaste. There's a 3-D texture and a noble soil character here that I find exhilarating." —Stephen Tanzer

"From 1910 vines. Thick and dense and much more exciting than the Cuvee Classique and much more exciting. The Cuvee Classique should be cheaper! Round and exciting"
