On the eye
Deep golden colour, bright and luminous.
On the nose
Elegant fragrances of white flowers and citrus zest, with subtle honeyed undertones characteristic of botrytised Sauternes.
In the mouth
Ample and refined on the palate, with remarkable freshness. Citrus and candied lemon notes are balanced by the wine's natural sweetness and fine structure. The finish is clean and persistent.
I recommend this wine particularly with blue cheeses—the interplay between the wine's acidity and the cheese's piquancy is genuinely rewarding. It also pairs beautifully with foie gras, of course, and with lighter desserts featuring stone fruits. Serve well-chilled, around 8–10°C. This is a wine that merits proper cellaring; it will develop considerably over the next decade.

CHATEAU LA TOUR BLANCHE
Château la Tour Blanche covers 40 hectares at Bommes, at the heart of the Sauternes appellation, on gravelly soils over an argilo-calcareous subsoil on slopes overlooking the Ciron. Bequeathed to the French State in 1907 by the philanthropist Daniel Iffla, known as Osiris, the château has housed a working school of viticulture since 1911 — a dual vocation of excellence and transmission that sets it apart. Certified organic and HVE, it produces its great sweet whites from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle at restrained yields of 12 to 15 hl/ha. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the rigour of its organic viticulture and the aromatic depth of its Sauternes. A property of rare historical substance in the Bordeaux landscape.
