2024 Chateau La Tour Blanche (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

Chateau La Tour Blanche takes its name from the founder of the estate, Jean Saint Marc du Latourblanche, and is one of the most respected producers in Sauternes. The 40 hectares of vines used for their grand vin are planted in one large parcel with a prime location close to the Ceron river, and the soils are a mix of gravel, clay, sand, and limestone. Planted here is a combination of 83% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc, and an unusually high proportion of Muscadelle at 5%. The Semillon is aged in 35% new, French oak barrels for 16 to 18 months, while the Sauvignon Blanc and the Muscadelle are aged for 16-18 months in stainless steel vats before blending and bottling.

Other Reviews....
The 2024 La Tour Blanche is creamy and resonant, with fine balance to match its understated personality. Hints of passion fruit, pineapple, mint, lemon confit and exotic white flowers grace the palate. The 2024 finishes with lovely brightness and a clean mineral touch. Drink 2028-2044.

Unctuous, fruity and charming. Apricots, sweet spices and some honey. Medium-bodied and delicious with a densely fruity, relaxed finish.

Good succulence and push of citrus fruit with crisp edges. Lime, green apple and some mango sweetness with wild honey and cooling almost minty touches too.I like this, it has mouthwatering acidity which gives a zing as well as pristine fruit and bite. Sweetness is there too in the background, toffee and salted caramel. Really enjoyable. Drink 2025 - 2038.
