What Critics Think
Wine Advocate : 96 Points
(3/14/2019) Pale gold colored, the 2009 la Tour Blanche gives up bold, youthful tropical fruit notes of green mango and passion fruit with touches of candied citrus and honeysuckle plus savory wafts of toasted almonds and baking bread. The palate is an exercise in poise and elegance with beguiling vibrancy and freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. Drink Date: 2019 - 2042.
James Suckling : 96 Points
(5/23/2013) Impressive density of fruity here with caramel, dried lemons, apricots and honey. Full yet reserved and beautiful. Wonderful length. One of the Sauternes of the vintage.
Owen Bargreen : 95 Points
(12/26/2023) The outstanding 2009 Chateau La Tour Blanche is a stunning, viscous example of the 2009 vintage. The wine shows honeycomb and quince notes on the nose alongside shades of ripe mango. The palate is plush and soft with a smooth mouthfeel and beautiful underlying freshness. Finishing very long with stony minerals, buttercream and shades of pineapple upside-down cake, this is an opulent, fantastic example of this warm vintage. Enjoy now and over the next few years. Drink 2023-2029.
