Chateau La Tour Blanche

1855 年 Sauternes & Barsac 分級制度被列為 Premiers Cru

Chateau La Tour Blanche, following in the tradition of the times, takes its name from the founder of the estate, Jean Saint Marc du Latourblanche. Skipping ahead about 100 years, give or take, the next important chapter in the history of Chateau La Tour Blanche takes place during the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux wine.

In fact, in those days, the estate was one of the most respected in the Sauternes appellation, not that far behind Chateau d’Yquem! At the time, the estate was the property of a German citizen, Frederic Focke.

Frederic Focke is known for trying to take credit for introducing the concept of making sweet wines that had been infected by noble rot, better known as botrytis in Sauternes. Of course, that is not correct as the region has a long history of producing sweet wine that dates back to at least the mid to early 1700s.

The modern era of Chateau La Tour Blanche really begins thanks to Daniel Osiris Iffla. Daniel Osiris gifted the chateau and vineyard to the French Government with the condition that a Bordeaux Wine School be created on the Sauternes property.

In 1909, The Ministry of Agriculture finally agreed and created the La Tour Blanche School of Viticulture and Enology. Construction was completed two years later in 1911. To commemorate this gift, the name of Osiris is still seen on the label of Chateau La Tour Blanche which states “Donation Osiris”.

Despite its unusual status, Chateau La Tour Blanche is run by people experienced in the Bordeaux wine business.

Chateau La Tour Blanche Vineyards, Terroir, Grapes, Winemaking

The 44 hectare Sauternes vineyard of Chateau La Tour Blanche has 40 hectares of vines planted to 83% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle. That gives La Tour Blanche one of the higher concentrations of Muscadelle in all of Bordeaux.

The terroir is a mix of gravel, clay, sand, and limestone soil. The vine density is 6,200 vines per hectare. The vineyard is in one, large parcel of vines, in a prime location, not far from the Ceron river. There are good elevations here, as at the top of the slopes are close to 67 meters at their peak.

They also maintain 4 hectares of vines for red wine grapes planted to 100% Merlot.

To vinify the wine of Chateau La Tour Blanche, vinification takes place in a combination of 100% new, French oak barrels and one-year-old, French oak barrels and steel vats. The Semillon is aged in 35% new, French oak barrels for 16 to 18 months, while the Sauvignon Blanc and the Muscadelle are aged for 16-18 months in stainless steel vats before blending and bottling.
