The 2024 Latour-Martillac Blanc has a composed and more complex bouquet than some of its peers: hints of apricot, pear and a touch of beeswax emerge with time. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity. This is a little more lime-driven than expected, but there is fine tension towards the finish and decent length. Good potential.
The 2024 Latour-Martillac Blanc is a very classy wine that shows just how appealing the vintage is for whites. Brisk and finely cut, with notable textural depth, the 2024 is incredibly attractive. Citrus peel, white flowers, slate, mint, chalk and white pepper all race out of the glass. The 2024 has real depth and resonance. This is such a classic. Tasted two times.
Sharp, bright white fruits, great quality, this is a lovely wine, white peach, white flowers, white pear, juicy, characterful, slim and savoury. A little soft on the finish. Famille Jean Kressmann. 25% new oak. 52 hl/ha
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.
