About Château Latour-Martillac
Château Latour-Martillac is a rare property in Bordeaux, owned exclusively by the Kressmann family since the late 1800s. Currently in the hands of Tristan and Loïc Kressmann, the siblings continue the tradition of blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot whilst expanding their efforts through the addition of some exquisite Petit Verdot planted in one of the best gravel plots on the Pessac-Léognan plateau.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)The 2017 Latour-Martillac is a dark, powerful wine with a ton of Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness, depth and structure. Black cherry, graphite, spice, leather, lavender and menthol infuse the 2017 with striking character and power. The 2017 is a serious, at times stubborn, wine that needs time to soften. Even in the early going, though, it is impressive. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94)The 2020 Latour-Martillac has an impressive, quite engaging bouquet with blackberry, incense, graphite and faint touches of black olive. This is very harmonious and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, very well balanced, quite saline with a poised and quite persistent finish. Quintessentially Pessac-Léognan, this has a bright future ahead. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93)The 2017 Latour-Martillac Blanc is powerful and quite dense in the glass, with tons of structure that gives the wine its distinctive, almost phenolic feel. Orchard fruit, citrus and floral notes develop with air, but it is the wine's sheer power that stands out most. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94)The 2020 Latour-Martillac Blanc has shut down since tasting from barrel, yet it opens with yellow plum, jasmine and light frangipane scents. I admire the precision here. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite taut and well defined. Real precision on the finish that drags you back for one more sip. This is a classy dry white Bordeaux that will give immense pleasure over a number of years. |
