Château de la Tour
Francois Labet describes 2012 as "an easy vintage, full of lipstick.Any wine drinker will like it:beginners for its soft, sweet fruit and connoisseurs for its depth, fat and richness.The 2012s are like suckling pigs."As is his usual practice, Labet harvested late in Clos Vougeot, beginning on September 27.As the fruit came in with potential alcohol between 13% and 13.2%, he did not chaptalize.He carried out a week-long pre-fermentation cold soak and the wines are aging in 100% new oak (entirely Chassin barrels since 2008).I found the 2012s here to be extremely rich but a bit more roasted than the 2011s.But I should note that the wines were presented a bit warmer than I prefer to taste young red Burgundies, so it's possible that the '12s here have a bit more verve than they showed in November.They had not yet been racked.
