Sauternes 2017 W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N Château La Tour Blanche is ranked as Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 Classification of Sauternes. The estate is national property of France and home to the La Tour Blanche School of Viticulture. Emotions de La Tour Blanche is a second label, the name of which references the various emotions Sauternes evokes. A B O U T T H E V I N E Y A R D The estate is in the village of Bommes in the heart of the Sauternes appellation. Château La Tour Blanche sits at the top of a ridge of gravel over clay and limestone subsoil. This advantageous position provides the best possible exposure to the sun, optimal drainage, and a high concentration of flavors and natural sweetness. W I N E P R O D U C T I O N Emotions de La Tour Blanche consists mainly of Sémillon, with smaller percentages of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle which are harvested late and selected for botrytis. The wine is vinified and aged exclusively in stainless-steel vats for 18 months to preserve its freshness and aromatic character. T A S T I N G N O T E S Due to the climate of the Sauternes region, wines are produced from grapes affected by the botrytis cinerea, a “noble rot” that develops on the berries. This phenomenon creates a high concentration of natural sugar and complex aromas of spice and dried fruits. F O O D P A I R I N G The great fine wines of Sauternes are not only dessert wines, but they can also be classically paired with foie gras in all its forms, light fish in a creamy sauce, or with strong cheeses such as Roquefort or Epoisses. Desserts that feature caramel, nuts, or dried or tropical fruit are natural partners with the flavor of Sauternes.

Bordeaux Wines.Pdf
A Very Brief Introduction to Bordeaux Wines Rick Brusca Vers. September 2019 A “Bordeaux wine” is any wine produced in the Bordeaux region (an official Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) of France, centered on the city of Bordeaux and covering the whole of France’s Gironde Department. This single wine region in France is six times the size of Napa Valley, and with more than 120,000 Ha of vineyards it is larger than all the vineyard regions of Germany combined. It includes over 8,600 growers. Bordeaux is generally viewed as the most prestigious wine-producing area in the world. In fact, many consider Bordeaux the birthplace of modern wine culture. As early as the 13th century, barges docked along the wharves of the Gironde River to pick up wine for transport to England. Bordeaux is the largest producer of high-quality red wines in the world, and average years produce nearly 800 million bottles of wine from ~7000 chateaux, ranging from large quantities of everyday table wine to some of the most expensive and prestigious wines known. (In France, a “chateau” simply refers to the buildings associated with vineyards where the wine making actually takes place; it can be simple or elaborate, and while many are large historic structures they need not be.) About 89% of wine produced in Bordeaux is red (red Bordeaux is often called "Claret" in Great Britain, and occasionally in the U.S.), with sweet white wines (most notably Sauternes), dry whites (usually blending Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon), and also (in much smaller quantities) rosé and sparkling wines (e.g., Crémant de Bordeaux) collectively making up the remainder.
