Critic reviews
"The 2025 La Tour Blanche has a more primal bouquet, tightly wound at first, then opening with beeswax and light apricot scents. The palate is wonderful, with plenty of vivacious botrytised fruit, energy and tension. It is weighty as usual with this Sauternes, but there is a countervailing sense of energy through to the finish. Excellent."

"Full-bodied, with restrained sweetness that’s not excessive in any way, acidity that complements and drives the wine and a subtle saline touch."
James Suckling, April 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Sweet, ripe mango and grilled apricot fruits, luscious but struggles to really convey lift and tension. Yield 6.5 hl/ha."
Jane Anson, April 2026, JaneAnson.com
"Creamy really aromatic and fragrant, peach, pear, blossom, so fragrant. Lovely sweetness and cleanness with lemon, apricot, sweet pineapple, mango cinnamon and vanilla. Crisp, fresh, salty, sugary. Yum."
