The Château La Tour Blanche Premier Grand Cru 2005 is a magnificent Sauternes crafted from botrytized Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. This 2005 vintage displays a deep amber hue and a complex nose of honey, candied orange, dried fig, and exotic spices, with hints of toffee and minerality. On the palate, it is opulent and viscous, with concentrated sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of mango, pineapple, and botrytis-driven complexity. The finish is long and harmonious, with a refined mineral streak. This wine showcases La Tour Blanche’s mastery of sweet winemaking. Perfect with fruit-based desserts, foie gras, or blue cheeses, it offers a decadent experience. With two decades of aging, it is at its peak but can evolve further over the next 10-15 years, making it a collector’s gem.
