2001 Chateau La Tour Blanche - Sauternes (750ml)

A First Growth of Sauternes, Château La Tour Blanche shows beautifully in the celebrated 2001 vintage — widely regarded as one of the greatest years in the appellation's history. Expect a rich amber-gold hue and an opulent nose of honeyed apricot, candied citrus peel, saffron, and toasted nuts, shaped by pronounced botrytis character. On the palate it's lush and concentrated, balanced by the vintage's signature bright acidity, carrying through to a long, spiced, marmalade-laced finish. A classic, age-worthy Sauternes drinking in a great window right now.
