Property of a prominent Toronto collector, who was involved with charities associated with wine. He stocked his cellar with wine where he had met the producer or been to the winery. Bottles were sourced through the LCBO, auction and agents and stored in a superb Rosedale wine cellar under ideal conditions and then most recently in a temperature-controlled wine storage unit in his condominium.
Producer notes- Château de La Tour is a wine producer and building located within the walls of the famed Clos de Vougeot in the Vougeot appellation of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits subregion. It is the largest landholder in the famously fragmented Pinot Noir clos, owning nearly 11 percent of the land therein. It is also the only other major building – aside from the famous Château du Clos de Vougeot – within the walls. The estate's holdings total just under 5.5 hectares (13 acres) in plots on the middle and upper slopes of the clos. Château de la Tour's best parcel is planted to vines that are more than 100 years old, and are the source for the Cuvée Vieilles Vignes as well as the Cuvée Hommage Jean Morin wines – the latter named after owner François Labet's grandfather.
