critic reviews

94-96/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The La Tour Blanche 2024 is pale lemon-straw in color. It strolls out with easy-going notes of pineapple and lemon pie, plus hints of lemongrass and candied ginger. The palate is intense and tangy with tropical fruit and savory layers, finishing long and spicy.

90-92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2024 La Tour Blanche has a fragrant bouquet, finely delineated if not as powerful as previous vintages, with dried honey, yellow flowers, orange pith and touches of quince. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry, impressive weight and depth. This is not a profoundly complex La Tour Blanche but it has decent length.

93/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Succulent, silky, sweet mango and apricot puree, this is one of the sweeter of the Sauternes in the year but delivers a twist of lime zest freshness alongside the toffee apple and saffron spice, good quality and a ton of pleasure. 6.5 hl/ha yield.
