The 2021 La Tour Blanche has a well-defined nose not as complex as its peers with touches of wax and Peach skin. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity fresh and taught fine definition. Yet La Tour Blanche lacks a bit of weight and concentration on the finish.

Yum. Intense aromas and flavors of apricot, lemon zest and spices, as well as mangoes and dried tropical fruit. Yet, it’s tight and and very sweet, with beautiful depth and length.

Sweet nectarine and peach puree on the attack, with touches of butterscotch through the mid palate, unbalanced in its acidities although rich and concentrated in texture.

The 40 hectares of the estate are situated upon a terroir where two rivers create a morning fog, allowing for the development of botrytis cinerea (noble rot), without which there would be no Bordeaux sweet wines. La Tour Blanche produces elegant wines in the cool tranquility of its cellars, representing the unique characteristics of the appellation.
