History
Founded in the 18th century, Château La Tour Blanche is located in the commune of Bommes, in the heart of the prestigious Sauternes appellation.
A previous owner, Daniel “Osiris” Iffla, left the estate to the French government in 1907, on the condition that a tuition-free School of Viticulture and Oenology be created there.
The estate overlooks the Ciron river (a tributary of the Garonne), which is responsible for the unique microclimate that gives rise to the famous “noble rot”. La Tour Blanche’s style achieves a perfect balance between concentration and freshness, with impressive finesse and elegance. For all these reasons, Château La Tour Blanche unquestionably deserves its rank as the first of the First Growths in the 1855 classification.
