Critic Scores

Fresh scent, mineral driven, blossom honey, apricot, bitter orange; the palate is juicy, rich, yet fresh, with crunchy fruit, lots of energy, light-footed, spicy, with a striking dried apricot note on the finish. Full of finesse, structured, long, salty. Excellent. (Drink from 2030 to 2070) - 96 to 98 Points - Adrian Van Velsen

Pale straw-gold in color, the 2025 La Tour Blanche is a little shy to start, soon unfurling to reveal intense scents of fresh mangoes and lemon meringue pie, plus suggestions of grapefruit essence, honeycomb, and crushed rocks. The palate delivers energetic tropical and citrus fruit flavors with a lively backbone and a long, honey-coated finish. - 94 to 96 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

About this Wine

Bordeaux produces some of the most highly sought after and revered wines in the world. Located close to the coast, in the south-west of France the town and is divided by the Gironde River. Wines to the west of the river are referred to as left bank, and are Cabernet dominant. To the East of the river, on the right bank Merlot is the dominant grape variety. Throughout the 57 appellations, over 10,000 wine-making châteaux grow the red grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. These are commonly blended and collectively referred to as clarets. Smaller amounts of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc is also grown in Bordeaux.

In 1855, due to the high export demands of Bordeaux wines, Emporer Napoleon III requested an official Bordeaux classification system, based on market costs of the wines at the time. The Chateaux were classified in to five ‘growths’ from first growth to fifth growth and cru Bourgois. Also in 1855 The Sauternes and Barsac classification covered the sweeter wines, with Chateau d’Yquem the only Superior First Growth, followed by Premiers Crus and Deux Deuxièmes Crus.
