Serving Tips and tasting notes:

To fully appreciate Château La Tour Blanche 1995, serve it at a temperature of around 10 to 12°C in white wine glasses. Prior aeration in a carafe can allow complex flavors to develop further.

We tasted one of the bottles for “tee time” in September 2023, a marvel of balance between acidity and sweetness. An extremely aromatic wine with typical notes of saffron and candied fruit that can be appreciated for hours simply with the nose. In the mouth the wine is not heavy, the sugars are patinated and counterbalanced by the acidity, nothing but happiness!

Knowledge about sweet wines:

• The alcohol rate does not change over time in the bottles.
• There is no more or less sugar, on the other hand the sugars take on a patina giving a less sweet taste.
• The gravel that can form over time is not sugar but tart.
• Fun fact, once opened you can store it in the fridge for over a month without any worries.
