Chteau Latour-Martillac – Pessac-Lognan Blanc (Grand Cru Class de Graves) 2019 (750ml)

Winemaker Notes

This wine has a pale yellow color with golden reflections. Its nose is very expressive, with notes of citrus fruits, white flowers and fresh fruits. The lemony freshness of the attack gives way to an ample, complex and aromatic mouth, very tasty. It is a refined wine with a delicate texture, in complete harmony.

Blend: 58% Sauvignon Blanc, 42% Smillon

The 2019 Chteau Latour-Martillac Blanc is terrific, offering a rich, concentrated, yet bright and racy style that\’s going to age beautifully. Ripe lemon, honeyed grapefruit, chalky mineral, and some floral notes all define the nose, and it\’s medium to full-bodied, has terrific overall balance, and a great finish. It\’s one classy Bordeaux Blanc that will have 15+ years of longevity. Best After 2022.

94Wine Enthusiast

This warm, ripe wine shows touches of yellow fruits as well as a cut of attractive citrus. At this stage, the wood aging shows in spice and toastiness, but these will go as the wine fully integrates. Best After 2024. Cellar Selection

93Robert Parker\’s Wine Advocate
A blend of 42% Semillon and 58% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested between the 3rd and 17th of September, the 2019 Blanc came in at 50 hectoliters per hectare and 13.8% alcohol. Aromas of fresh lemons, yellow apples and white peaches gently waft from the glass with emerging nuances of baking bread, almonds and spice cake. The medium-bodied palate has electric intensity with the tightly wound citrus layers well-supported by racy acidity, finishing savory.

A medium- to full-bodied white with aromas of dried grapefruit, lemon curd, fennel, gooseberries and cloves. Rich, compact and spicy with a pithy edge. Drink or hold

92Wine Spectator

Tarragon and chive notes lead the way in this white, followed by flavors of lemon peel, white asparagus, chalk and white peach, showing tangy drive on the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Smillon. Drink now.
