Viniou Reviews

Château La Tour Blanche 2005, a Premier Cru from the renowned Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux, France, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of sweet wines. This particular vintage, known for its complexity and balance, primarily comprises the Sémillon grape, often blended with smaller proportions of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. The 2005 vintage benefited from ideal weather conditions that encouraged the development of Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot, which concentrates the sugars in the grapes, resulting in a lusciously sweet and aromatic wine. The terroir of Sauternes consists of gravel-rich soils over a limestone bed, providing excellent drainage and contributing to the wine's minerality and depth.

Bordeaux's Sauternais region, located in the southern part of the Bordeaux wine region, is famous worldwide for its sweet wines. The region's unique microclimate, with its misty autumnal mornings followed by warm, sunny afternoons, is perfect for the development of noble rot, which is essential for producing high-quality sweet wines like those of Sauternes. The history of Sauternes wines dates back to at least the 17th century, and they have been a staple of fine dining due to their rich flavours and ability to age gracefully.

Château La Tour Blanche 2005 pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. It complements rich, savoury dishes such as foie gras or a selection of blue cheeses like Roquefort. For a regional touch, consider pairing it with a tarte Tatin or almond pastries, which highlight the wine’s honeyed, apricot, and nutty notes.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this exquisite wine at a temperature of 8-10°C. This allows its full bouquet of aromas and flavours to unfold, offering a harmonious balance between sweetness, acidity, and exotic fruit flavours, making each sip a truly memorable experience.
