    93-95/100
    Lisa Perrotti-Brown,

    The 2022 La Tour Blanche is a blend of 83% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc, and 5% Muscadelle, with 145 g/L residual sugar. Pale to medium straw in color, it prances out with energetic notes of lime leaves, green mango, and lemon tart, leading to touches of salted almonds, cedar, and freshly shaved ginger. The palate is very youthful and pure, with vivacious citrusy layers and balancing freshness, finishing decadently spicy.

    The 2022 La Tour Blanche offers dried honey, orange pith, beeswax and light ginger scents on the nose, perhaps less extravagant than I was anticipating in this vintage. The palate handles the 145g/L well. Fine acidity counterbalances the unctuous fruit, lightly spiced with a precise, tangy marmalade and lemongrass finish. Excellent.
