Château La Tour Blanche is ranked as Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification of Sauternes. The estate is the property of regional government of Aquitaine (the French state) and home to the La Tour Blanche School of Viticulture. Although La Tour Blanche represents essential instructive support for the students, the estate is entirely managed independently by professionals from the wine-growing sector to help preserve the expected level of quality for a classified property of Sauternes. Emotions de La Tour Blanche is a second label, the name of which references the various emotions Sauternes evokes.
94 Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Pale to medium lemon-gold color, the 2010 la Tour Blanche is a total spice bomb, featuring wonderfully redolent notes of nutmeg, coriander seed, cinnamon stick and powdered ginger with a core of pineapple upside-down cake, poached pears and bread dough. The palate is suitably rich and yet beautifully balanced, lending a refreshing, deceptively ethereal quality that will have you reaching for another irresistible glass. Yum! Drink 2020 – 2040.
