Chateau Des Tours 2005 375ml
	A tiny appellation named Ste. Croix-du-Mont, directly across the Garonne River from Sauternes has come to prominence as a viable alternative to it's famous neighbour, with which it shares a similar mesoclime and growing conditions. Chateau des Tours is the second label by Chateau Loubens, who are famous for their toothsome and succulent, finely textured dessert wines. Quite simply, a spectacular treat, be the first to discover Chateau des Tours before the secret's out. Beautifully fruited in its youth, Château Des Tours is elegant, concentrated and rich Bordeaux
	Each $19.99 Dozen $239.88	Low yields and the exclusive inclusion of only those grapes which have been botrytised contributes to the depth and concentration of fruit. Mostly Sémillon with about five percent Sauvignon Blanc grown to vines averaging forty years of age planted to chalky clay soils. The vines often produce the lowest yields as grapes tend to wither when they are over ripened. The harvest is done entirely by hand with several selective pickings for the collection of only those botrytised grapes which have a high concentration of sugar. The grapes are pressed and the must is put into cement vats where the alcoholic fermentation starts. After the addition of pure alcohol, the wine is aged in vats, completely unoaked, for six months
	A viscous wine, deep yellow in colour. A wine of sensible richness and ample botrytis, scents of pineapple and banana, Galliano and lemon liqueurs. An immeasurably lengthy palate of candied citrus and cumquat peel, tarte tatin, peach leaf ratafia and sugared almond. A finish saturated with long lasting characters and the tang of cleansing, fruit laden acids, memorable, complex and lingering. "A wonderfully rich, sweet wine. Deep golden colour, nose of candied fruit, barley sugar and pineapple. Lively aromas of apricot, orange blossom, creme brulee and vanilla with a rich, creamy texture. Perfect with fruit flans and other not-too-sweet desserts or blue cheeses. Quite unctuous, sweet and honied!" -Telegraph.co.uk
