ChâteauLaTourBlanche(0.375L)1989

<p> 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.

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.</p><p> 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.

A truly remarkable wine from an outstanding vintage.</p>
