The Château La Tour Blanche 1989 is an iconic Sauternes that, with over three decades of aging, has developed its aromatic complexity to an exceptional level. The glass sparkles a rich gold, almost amber, and offers an intense aroma of ripe apricots, honey, dried figs, and candied citrus fruits, underscored by delicate floral notes and a hint of roasted nuts.

On the palate, the 1989 vintage displays an impressive balance between sweetness and well-preserved acidity, lending the wine vibrancy. Aromas of dried exotic fruits, toffee, and a light spice create a dense, rich texture. The finish unfolds with remarkable length and elegance, with a persistent, subtly spicy aftertaste.

The Château La Tour Blanche 1989 is an excellent choice with rich desserts such as baked fruit, cheese platters, or as a solo wine for a festive occasion. At its current stage of maturity, it displays the depth and persistence of a great Sauternes and is still capable of gaining complexity over the next few years. A truly remarkable wine from an outstanding vintage.
