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 )
Tasting notes
Appearance
The robe can vary over the entire range of colors from pale gold to coppery gold through straw yellow.
Aroma
In the main aromatic field of soft and sweet Bordeaux we find the flower, the fresh fruits, the exotic fruits but also spicy notes and empireumatiques (wood, cinnamon, vanilla ...).
Wine Floral | Soft | Spicy
Taste
The sweet white young are delicious, they are slightly jammy but still retain acidity. With age they evolve on more concentrated aromas, such as the bitter orange confit and small notes of salted butter caramel.
