    Producer

    Producer

    The Château de La Tour vineyard is carefully cultivated on clay-limestone soils typical of Burgundy. These mineral-rich terroirs are the cradle of exceptionally high-quality grapes. The vines, often several decades old, send their roots deep into this fertile soil, allowing the wines to express themselves with remarkable authenticity. The region's temperate climate, with its warm summers and cold winters, also contributes to the slow and balanced ripening of the grapes, thus guaranteeing the complexity and depth of aromas in each vintage.

    Owner and history

    Château de La Tour is currently managed by a passionate team committed to preserving Burgundy's winemaking heritage. Drawing on their experience and love for the terroir, the owners strive to produce wines that truly reflect their environment. They work in harmony with nature, respecting the vine's natural cycles and promoting sustainable practices. Their goal is to pass on this passion to future generations, while continuing to elevate Château de La Tour's reputation among Burgundy's finest.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château de La Tour is a meticulous process that respects Burgundian traditions. The carefully selected grapes are destemmed before being fermented in wooden vats. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, allowing for a gentle extraction of tannins and aromas. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are new, for 12 to 18 months. This aging process refines the aromas and gives the wine an elegant structure, while subtly integrating the oak notes. Every step is carefully considered to reveal the very best of this grand cru.
