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 in these terroirs, imparting the wines with exceptional complexity and finesse. The unique combination of soil composition and microclimate forms the foundation for Château de la Tour's Grand Cru wines, esteemed worldwide for their elegance and terroir expression.
