Château La Tour Blanche
Emotions de la Tour Blanche Sauternes White Bordeaux Blend
Sauternes, Graves, Bordeaux, France
At Poulet Bleu - Premier Cru Classé second wine, government-owned teaching estate.
• Nose: Honeyed apricot, peach, beeswax, orange marmalade, saffron
• Palate: Lush botrytis fruit, balancing acidity (2022 ripeness held well), ginger lift
• Texture: Medium-rich, viscous but not heavy, clean finish
• Style: Opulent 2022 vintage — generous, expressive, ready to drink now
• Tasting note: "Honey + citrus peel + a savory ginger finish. Cut through any buttery dessert; would also wreck a blue cheese."
