Producer

The vineyard of Château La Tour Blanche extends across carefully selected plots, where the vines benefit from a climat Temperate oceanic climate. The soils, composed mainly of clay and limestone, retain moisture, thus promoting the concentration of sugars in the grapes. This unique terroir is the birthplace of the Sauternes appellation, where noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) plays an essential role in the creation of rich, sweet wines. The practice of sustainable winemaking helps preserve biodiversity and ensure the health of the vines, reflecting a deep respect for the environment.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château La Tour Blanche is a meticulous art, beginning with the hand-harvesting of grapes, selected by hand for their optimal ripeness. After gentle pressing, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and purity of the aromas. Aging takes place in oak barrels, where the wine develops its complexity and balance. This crucial stage, lasting several months, allows the sweet and floral notes to blend harmoniously, creating a wine of great finesse. The mastery of oxygenation and the choice of barrels are essential elements in enhancing the potential of this exceptional Sauternes.
