Tour Blanche (BIO ORGANIC) 2024 6 Pack

La Tour Blanche, an iconic Premier Cru and a teaching place The figures who have shaped the destiny of La Tour Blanche, classified as a Premier Grand Cru in 1855, are deeply intertwined with its history. Each individual has uniquely contributed to establishing the estate as one of the finest in Sauternes, by embracing risks and defying conventional wisdom. Monsieur de Saint-Marc, Lord of La Tour Blanche, gave the estate its name. Then came Frederick Focke, who was among the pioneers of "late harvesting" techniques and implemented successive grape selections during harvest, pivotal practices for the appellation's success. Lastly, Daniel Iffla, steward of the estate at the end of the 19th century, was not only a connoisseur of prestigious wines but also a dedicated philanthropist. When he died without heirs in 1907, he bequeathed the estate to the French State on the condition that a wine school be established on the premises. His wishes were honored in 1911 when La Tour Blanche was inaugurated as the first educational Grand Cru in Bordeaux, a role it continues to fulfill today. The 2024 vintage The nose is expressive, revealing notes of yellow fruits and citrus zest. On the palate, the attack is elegant, with beautiful volume, enhanced by a vibrant freshness that gives the wine depth and highlights a delightful array of citrus flavors. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, evolving towards hints of candied lemon and bergamot. In the background, delicate brioche and vanilla notes add a gourmet and refined touch to this vintage.
