Château La Tour Blanche (Sauternes)
Loads of sweet, tropical fruit, apricot, orange rind and nectarine all coated with honey. Rich, sweet and fresh, the spice and vanilla in the end add to all that sweet, lush fruit.

Château La Tour Blanche (Sauternes)
Apricot, candied orange, honeysuckle, spice and pineapple, all soaked in honey let you know what you're in store for. Add in the vibrant acidity and you have a winner here. Freshness paired with sweetness, from a blend of 82% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle. 2,946 Views Tasted Feb 4, 2017 |

Château La Tour Blanche (Sauternes)
Tightly wound at the moment and not giving up much. The wine is on the mineral driven, honeyed citrus, spice and orange marmalade side of the style range, with a honeyed, lemon fresh and vanilla finish. This will probably develop well, especially for tasters looking to pair sweet wines with savory and spicy dishes. 3,245 Views Tasted Feb 1, 2016 |

Château La Tour Blanche (Sauternes)
Quite floral, with a nice mix of yellow and orange tropical fruits, a hint of vanilla, honey, apricots and overripe pineapple. Fresh, sweet, lush and lifted, this is delicious right now and should improve with ease for at least another 10-15 years. 2,491 Views Tasted Aug 29, 2020 |

Château La Tour Blanche (Sauternes)
Lemon curd, pineapple, candied orange, spice, vanilla, mango, burnt sugar and a sprig of mint are at the center of this wine. Fresh, honeyed, spicy, and with a lemon chiffon note in the lifted finish, with a slight bitter note at the end of the finish, this is good to go. Drink from 2022-2040. 4,097 Views Tasted Oct 13, 2022Citrus, vanilla, apricot, nectarine, pear and honey scents produce the aromatics.

Château La Tour Blanche (Sauternes)
Starting to fade, the fruit is lighter than I recall. There is more complexity in the honeyed, tropical, apricot and orange nose, than you are going to find in the medium bodied palate and its bright, citrus and apricot, sweet finish. This is not a wine to age further. 4,040 Views Tasted Jul 27, 2015This is a nice Sauternes that is clearly at, or slightly past its peak. The sweet honey fruit and rich textures are fading. I'd drink any remaining bottles sooner than later. 5,068 Views Tasted Dec 21, 2013 |
