  • Goedhuis, April 2022, Score: 93-95

    A combination of Sauvignon Blanc (53%) and Semillon (47%) creates an expansive, generous wine, with creamy white fruit and peach flavours and intense, direct fresh herbal fruit from Sauvignon. Plenty of structure and great length. A high class wine from this fine estate in Malartic.

  • Neal Martin, April 2022, Score: 92-94

    The 2021 Latour-Martillac Blanc has a knockout nose with apple blossom, nettle, wet pavement and citrus peel aromas. Real energy here. The palate is well balanced with fine concentration, taut and fresh with plenty of extract, touches of spice emerge towards the finish. Excellent. Drink 2026-2048

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2022, Score: 90-91

    The 2021 Latour-Martillac Blanc offers an intriguing interplay of tension and fruit intensity. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, chamomile and mint come together effortlessly in the glass. Sémillon adds quite a bit of texture. Drink 2023-2030

  • Wine Advocate, April 2022, Score: 89-91

    Aromas of citrus oil, crisp orchard fruit and pastry cream introduce the 2021 Latour Martillac Blanc, a medium-bodied, bright and incisive wine that's performing well this year.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2022, Score: 17.5

    This is keen-edged wine with little oak adornments, and this means it has a purity and sharpness to the back of the palate that gives it energy and bounce. While I don’t doubt it will age well, the fruit is combative, exciting and feisty, and I feel that I would like to drink it before it gets to four years of age.

Château Latour Martillac in Pessac Léognan produces both a Grand Cru Classé red and white. It has been owned by the Kressmann family since the mid nineteenth century, currently overseen by brothers Tristan and Loïc. The winemaking and viticulture team headed up by Valérie Vialard have been integral to the estate’s success over the past two decades. Its white – a barrel femented blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc – is quite possibly one of the best value in the whole region, offering a quintessential example of great white Bordeaux at an extremely reasonable price. Its reds are firm and leafy, and characteristic of the Grave’s blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.Read less

Region

Pessac-Léognan

Stretching from the rather unglamorous southern suburbs of Bordeaux, for 50 km along the left bank of the river Garonne, lies Graves. Named for its gravelly soil, a relic of Ice Age glaciers, this is the birthplace of claret, despatched from the Middle Ages onwards from the nearby quayside to England in vast quantities. It can feel as though Bordeaux is just about red wines, but some sensational white wines are produced in this area from a blend of sauvignon blanc, Semillon and, occasionally, muscadelle grapes, often fermented and aged in barrel. In particular, Domaine de Chevalier is renowned for its superbly complex whites, which continue to develop in bottle over decades. A premium appellation, Pessac-Leognan, was created in 1987 for the most prestigious terroirs within Graves. These are soils with exceptional drainage, made up of gravel terraces built up in layers over many millennia, and consequently thrive in mediocre vintages but are less likely to perform well in hotter years. These wines were appraised and graded in their own classification system in 1953 and updated in 1959, but, like the 1855 classification system, this should be regarded with caution and the wines must absolutely be assessed on their own current merits.
