Château La Tour Blanche - Emotions of the White Tower 2019
Château La Tour Blanche, with Émotions de La Tour Blanche 2019, presented here in a half-bottle (37.5 cl), is a modern and refined expression of one of the greatest terroirs of Sauternes. A Premier Grand Cru Classé since 1855, Château La Tour Blanche is distinguished by exemplary viticulture and a search for balance between aromatic intensity and freshness.
The Émotions cuvée was born from the estate's desire to offer a more contemporary interpretation of the Sauternes style: a wine full of tension, luminous, where the richness of botrytis marries a chiseled vivacity. The 2019 vintage, marked by a dry autumn and ideal conditions for the development of noble rot, produced grapes of exceptional purity.
The nose opens with captivating aromas of candied apricot, acacia honey, orange peel, and vanilla, complemented by a floral touch and a hint of toasted almond. On the palate, the liqueur is full-bodied, balanced by a bracing acidity that gives it energy and precision. Flavors of exotic fruits, candied lemon, and sweet spices linger in a fresh and elegant finish, marked by a delicate salinity.
An elegant and harmonious Sauternes, both indulgent and light, perfect as an aperitif or with pan-fried foie gras, a yellow fruit tart or blue cheese with parsley. Serve between 10 and 12°C.
Grape varieties: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle
