The 2007 Tour Blanche has a very pure nose with peaches, apricots, flowers and heather honey - very pretty and inviting. The palate is big, bold and sweet with lots of acidity for structure. Fruitier and purer than the more savoury wines of Rieussec and Suduiraut, this will drink beautifully with fruity puddings from 2015-2030. 16.3 points (out of 20)

"Mid honeyed gold. Rather loose on the nose. Big and sweet and yet there is a little streak of green acidity too. But a bit aggressive on the palate. And pretty soft and loose. 16.5 points (out of 20)."

"Loads of ripe fruit in this one, with pineapple, mango and honey undertones. Full-bodied, thick and layered. Medium sweet. Spicy, fruity aftertaste. 90-93 points."
