Tasting notes
The 2019 La Tour Blanche has a generous bouquet, which is not the most complex of this vintage, with white flower, peach skin and light apricot aromas. The palate is viscous on the entry with a touch of spice and moderate depth. It's quite tensile, with a dab of ginger toward the finish. This is quite elegant for this estate in the line of recent vintages.

The 2019 La Tour Blanche has an open, well-defined, slightly Germanic bouquet that gains more intensity with aeration. Just a slight smokiness develops in the glass. The palate is very detailed with fine mineralité , taut and focused, real grip and weight with a persistent finish. This is a classy Sauternes, beautifully crafted and destined to age with aplomb in bottle. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Tasted blind. Exciting and nervy but not integrated. Elements there but not the whole yet. (JR)
