Wine Description

Château La Tour Blanche is ranked as Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification of Sauternes. The estate is national property of France and home to the La Tour Blanche School of Viticulture. Emotions de La Tour Blanche is a second label, the name of which references the various emotions Sauternes evokes.

The estate is in the village of Bommes in the heart of the Sauternes appellation. Château La Tour Blanche sits at the top of a ridge of gravel over clay and limestone subsoil. This advantageous position provides the best possible exposure to the sun, optimal drainage, and a high concentration of flavors and natural sweetness.

Emotions de La Tour Blanche consists mainly of Sémillon, with smaller percentages of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle which are harvested late and selected for botrytis. The wine is vinified and aged exclusively in stainless-steel vats for 18 months to preserve its freshness and aromatic character.

The 2019 La Tour Blanche has a generous bouquet, which is not the most complex of this vintage, with white flower, peach skin and light apricot aromas. The palate is viscous on the entry with a touch of spice and moderate depth. It's quite tensile, with a dab of ginger toward the finish. This is quite elegant for this estate in the line of recent vintages. — Vinous, Mar 2025
