Chateau La Tour Blanche

1962 Sauternes White Blend

Direct Imports Chateau La Tour Blanche, a distinguished white blend from the celebrated Sauternes region, showcases the beauty of its vintage, 1962. This wine presents a lovely bright straw-yellow hue, enticing the senses right from the first glance. With a luscious, full body, it envelops the palate in a delightful embrace, offering a balance of high acidity that awakens the taste buds. The fruit intensity is prominent, with rich notes of honeyed stone fruits and citrus, creating a mouthwatering complexity that is truly enchanting. This elegantly crafted wine is delicately off-dry, making it a perfect companion for a variety of desserts or rich cheeses, while its soft, subtle tannins allow the fruit-forward character to shine through. Château La Tour Blanche is not just a wine; it is an experience that captures the essence of its terroir and the artistry of winemaking in Sauternes.

Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
