The wine
The vines used for Château de la Tour’s Cuvée Vieilles Vignes du Clos Vougeot were planted in 1910. To mark its centenary, the Hommage à Jean Morin cuvée was created using the finest grape clusters from each vine. The wine’s very distinguished, well-blended tannins take it up another level.
