In a few words ...
La Tour Blanche wine is known for its high residual sugars, due to the action of the botrytis cinerea fungus, particularly favored on this terroir in the commune of Bommes. The result is a highly concentrated sugar content in the grape berry, but a light, easily digestible wine. It possesses a wide range of aromas and great finesse. James Suckling ( 88-89 ) / Wine Advocate ( 96 )
It's with cuvées like this that Sauternes continues to surprise us.
