The 2022 Château La Tour Blanche Sauternes 1er Cru Classé en 1855 Half Bottle (375ml) is an outstanding sweet Bordeaux from one of Sauternes' prestigious First Growth estates. Crafted predominantly from Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, the acclaimed 2022 vintage offers exceptional richness balanced by remarkable freshness. The convenient half-bottle format is ideal for sharing over dessert or enjoying with a special meal. The nose is intensely aromatic with apricot, peach and candied citrus, complemented by honey, orange blossom, vanilla and delicate saffron notes.
On the palate, it is luscious yet beautifully poised, with vibrant acidity balancing flavours of marmalade, ripe stone fruit, honeycomb and tropical fruit. Its silky texture and refined mineral character carry through to a long, elegant finish, showcasing the purity and ageing potential that define Château La Tour Blanche.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this half bottle is an exceptional choice for lovers of classic Sauternes and Barsac-style dessert wines. Serve lightly chilled with foie gras, blue cheese, crème brûlée, tarte Tatin or fruit-based desserts. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 15–25 years.
