2023 Château La Tour Blanche Léonie Blanc Sec is a refined dry white from Bordeaux, offering the pedigree of a historic Sauternes estate in a fresher, more contemporary style.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, it shows a bright, clean appearance that hints at its freshness and finesse. The nose opens with citrus blossom, white peach, green apple, and subtle herbal notes, layered with a light flinty edge and a touch of wet stone. On the palate, the wine is crisp and focused, with lively acidity framing flavors of lemon zest, pear, apricot, and delicate floral nuances. The finish is dry, precise, and lingering, suggesting it will drink beautifully now while holding its charm over the next few years.

Production
Produced at Château La Tour Blanche in Bordeaux, the wine benefits from the estate’s gravelly, well-drained soils and the tempering influence of the surrounding climate, which help preserve freshness and aromatic detail. Grapes are typically harvested carefully at optimal ripeness, then vinified in a style designed to emphasize purity, balance, and varietal expression rather than weight or overt oak influence.

Food & Serving
This dry white Bordeaux pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, poultry in light cream sauces, goat’s cheese, and fresh salads with herbs. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a short time in the glass will help the aromatics open up.
