The 36.8 hectare Sauternes vineyard of Chateau La Tour Blanche is planted to 83% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle. That gives La Tour Blanche one of the higher concentrations of Muscadelle in all of Bordeaux.
Vinification takes place in a combination of 100% new, French oak barrels and one year old oak barrels and steel vats. 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.
92-93 points James Suckling
Very spicy with lots of dried-mango, apple and pear character. Full-bodied and very sweet and flavorful on the finish.
91-94 points Antonio Galloni
The 2017 La Tour Blanche is gracious, light on its feet and super-expressive. Candied lemon, orange peel, mint and yellow orchard fruit are some of the notes that inform this airy, classy Sauternes. La Tour Blanche is a wine of real personality. There is so much to like.
