François Labet, owner of Château de la Tour in Vougeot, manages the family estate (10 ha in Beaune and Gevrey) with equal talent. He applies the same quality principles: organic farming, non-éraflée harvesting, long ageing (two winters minimum). Far from being the most talked-about domaine, but a wise choice for connoisseurs, according to Bourgogne Aujourd'hui: "to be seized as a matter of urgency, as the quality of the wines has been so consistent for a very long time".
The 2020 vintage is rated 18/20 by the magazine Bourgogne Aujourd'hui "Velvety nose, with notes of cherries, raspberries, violets, a background of chocolate and mocha.... Concentrated palate, with generous fruit, sweet tannins and great elegance" (October 2023)
