Tasted April 2023. Lots of ripe fruit, but there is a zingy freshness here. Some steely notes, which cut through the richness of the mid-palate.

Golden colour, this has intense spiced nectarine and white pear aromatics, gentle apricot pit, smoked almond, citrus, apricot and fresher mint leaf on the finish. Enjoyable, soft finish. Harvest August 18 to 31, 25% new oak, 43hl/h yield.
Bright citrus, tart pineapple, and honeyed mint are just some of the nuances in the 2022 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc, a medium-bodied, vibrant, crisp white that certainly makes the most of the vintage. It shows plenty of ripeness and concentration, yet I love its acidity and balance.
A blend of 52% Sauvignon Blanc and 48% Sémillon, the 2022 Latour Martillac Blanc reveals aromas of pear, peach, iodine, lime tree and verbena. Medium to full-bodied, tense and mineral-driven with a salty, fresh finish, this is a classic and incisive Latour Martillac Blanc.
Fresh and bright with lemon pith, white flowers and chalky minerality. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity. Really attractive and crisp.
The 2022 Latour-Martillac Blanc has plenty of energy, but not much in the way of mid-palate or finish. Ultimately it comes across as overly taut and austere at this stage. Let's see what happens once this is in bottle. Tasted two times.
Latour-Martillac is one of Pessac-Léognan’s best value wines and its prices have remained relatively stable compared to its counterparts. Although the wine was famously served at the coronation of King George VI, it has flown under the radar in recent times. Its striking art deco label was designed by Alfred Kressman in the 1930s and it remains under the Kressman’s ownership today. Its name is derived from the 12th century tower on the estate, all that is left of a small, fortified castle although the name Martillac was added to differentiate the property from the First Growth, Château Latour. It was awarded classed growth status in the Graves classification of 1959, and was one just six to be awarded for both its reds and whites.
