Château Latour-Martillac Blanc – Pessac-Léognan – White – 2016:

 

A Classified Growth of Distinction: Latour-Martillac Blanc

Château Latour-Martillac Blanc stands as a benchmark for dry white Bordeaux, a Classified Growth of Graves that seamlessly marries the creamy texture of Sémillon with the aromatic precision of Sauvignon Blanc. The estate’s famed gravel terroir imparts a unique minerality and longevity to this exquisite white wine.

Tasting Notes & Style

The wine showcases a pale straw hue with bright, crystalline reflections. The nose is highly expressive, featuring layers of ripe white peach, zesty lemon curd, honeysuckle, and a delicate, integrated toastiness from barrel maturation. The palate is taut, focused, and beautifully structured, offering a generous, yet perfectly balanced, mouthfeel. A refreshing streak of acidity and a signature saline edge drive a long, energetic finish. This is a serious, complex white that will reward careful cellaring.
