This 2021 Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru from Château de la Tour, a challenging but promising vintage, showcases the classic profile of a fine red Burgundy. On the nose, expect a complex bouquet of red berries like cherry and raspberry, intertwined with deeper notes of blackcurrant, forest floor, damp earth, and subtle hints of spice and violet. The palate will be structured and precise, with firm yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity that promise excellent aging potential. Flavors echo the nose, adding notes of mushroom, truffle, and a mineral undertone leading to a long, elegant finish.
