Nez de poire William, d'épice et notes boisées. Bouche fraîche, tonique, fruitée, racée et citronnée en finale.

The La Tour Carnet 2016 Blanc is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon that was cropped at 26 hectoliters per hectare. It has a lovely bouquet with lime flower and lemon curd scents mixed with a touch of chalk dust. The palate is fresh and vibrant with fine acidity, the two grape varieties working well together, fanning out with pineapple and hints of papaya on the long and tender finish. This comes recommended.

The 2016 La Tour Carnet Blanc is bright and delineated, but it also offers quite a bit of mid-palate depth. White flowers, lemon peel and grapefruit give the wine its aromatic profile, while the Sémillon (29%) comes through in the wine's textural feel.

Barrel Sample. From a clay- and limestone-based parcel at la Tour Carnet, this ripe wine is dominated by tropical fruit-flavored Sauvignon Blanc. It has concentration as well as a warm, ripe character, and should be suited to early enjoyment.
