Critic reviews
"The 2024 La Tour Blanche has a fragrant bouquet, finely delineated if not as powerful as previous vintages, with dried honey, yellow flowers, orange pith and touches of quince. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry, impressive weight and depth. This is not a profoundly complex La Tour Blanche but it has decent length."
Neal Martin, April 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2024 La Tour Blanche is creamy and resonant, with fine balance to match its understated personality. Hints of passion fruit, pineapple, mint, lemon confit and exotic white flowers grace the palate. The 2024 finishes with lovely brightness and a clean mineral touch."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"Unctuous, fruity and charming. Apricots, sweet spices and some honey. Medium-bodied and delicious with a densely fruity, relaxed finish."
James Suckling, May 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Succulent, silky, sweet mango and apricot puree, this is one of the sweeter of the Sauternes in the year but delivers a twist of lime zest freshness alongside the toffee apple and saffron spice, good quality and a ton of pleasure. 6.5 hl/ha yield."
Jane Anson, April 2025, JaneAnson.com
"Gold hue. Rich and expressive on the nose. Marmalade and honeyed notes. Palate generous and caressing. Zesty as well. Abundant fruit and bitter, botrytised freshness. Concentrated but lively as well."
