Château La Tour Blanche - Emotions de la Tour Blanche 2022 - half bottle
Emotions de La Tour Blanche 2022 from Château La Tour Blanche offers a bright and contemporary interpretation of the great dry white Bordeaux wines, stemming from the expertise of a classified Sauternes estate applied to freshness and precision. The pale yellow color with shiny reflections announces a clean and expressive wine. The nose opens with aromas of fresh citrus, lemon, and grapefruit, accompanied by notes of pear, white peach, and delicate flowers. An elegant herbal touch, reminiscent of boxwood and blackcurrant leaf, adds depth and complexity. The whole is precise, balanced, and very pure, without seeking opulence. From the first sniff, the wine captivates with its aromatic clarity and natural elegance.
On the palate, the attack is frank and tense, driven by a lively acidity that structures the whole with great finesse. The Sauvignon Blanc provides a straight and lemony framework, while the Sémillon adds a slightly fuller and silky texture. The Muscadelle, used sparingly, adds a subtle floral touch that enriches the profile without ever dominating it. The body unfolds fluidly, supported by a beautiful mineral sensation that prolongs the freshness. The discreet aging accompanies the wine without masking the expression of the fruit or the precision of the terroir. The finish is clean, persistent, marked by citrus and a slight salinity that invites food pairing.
Emotions de La Tour Blanche 2022 is a gastronomic white, equally comfortable as an aperitif or paired with refined dishes. It pairs perfectly with seafood, oysters, grilled fish, ceviche, or poultry with fresh herbs. Its freshness and aromatic finesse also make it an excellent partner for elegant plant-based cuisine or fresh cheeses. Served around 10 to 12 °C, it fully reveals its brilliance and balance. Already very appealing in its youth, it can evolve over a few years, gaining complexity and roundness. It is a precise, elegant, and perfectly mastered white that aptly illustrates La Tour Blanche's ability to excel well beyond sweet wines.
Grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Muscadelle
