Tasting notes
The 2023 La Tour Carnet Blanc comes from 1.3 hectares of vine. It has a light grapefruit and yellow plum-scented bouquet, just a hint of jasmine. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp line of acidity, quite malic in style, with a slightly short but fresh, bitter lemon-tinged finish.

The light gold-hued 2023 Château La Tour Carnet Blanc offers up a rocking bouquet of honeyed lime, mint, and orange blossom to go with a medium-bodied, juicy, vibrant style on the palate. It's balanced, has good acidity, and the fruit-forward style of the vintage.
Vibrant from the initial sniff, the wine is loaded with yellow citrus, pineapples, flowers, and mangos in the perfume. The palate is bright, and citrusy, with a crisp, pineapple, lemon and banana finish. The wine blends 67% Sauvignon Blanc with 33% Semillon. This is going to offer delicious drinking on release.
A white with character, showing sliced apple, lime and pear as well as minerals. Medium-bodied, crisp and crunchy.
