The soils in the region of Château de la Tour, especially in Clos de Vougeot, are characterized by limestone formations. These sparse and mineral-rich soils create ideal conditions for cultivating the noble Pinot Noir grape. The old vines root deeply into these terroirs, imparting exceptional complexity and finesse to the wines. The unique combination of soil composition and microclimate forms the foundation for Château de la Tour's Grand Cru wines, prized worldwide for their elegance and terroir expression.

The grape produces wines with a characteristic lighter color, offering aromas of red berries, cherries, and occasional earthy nuances.
