Château Latour-Martillac Blanc 2019

92-93/100

« Very structured and full of depth and layers of fruit. It’s rich and layered with plenty of lemon curd and cream, as well as lime. Nicely done. »

91-93/100

« 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. »

Guide 2023

92/100

« Proof again of how well the whites of Pessac have withstood what was a warm, dry summer. Here there is the scupted feel of a wine that is ready to deliver pleasure and fleshy fruit but tempered and held in place by clear slate and fresh acidities. Great balance on display, with a comfortably big yield of 50 Hl/Ha. Drinking window 2021-2032. »

« Sustained grapefruit freshness permeates right through this textured wine. It shows great crispness while also having impressive dense fruitiness. The mineral edge will subside into the wine's finely textured fruit. »

16.25/100

« Couleur pâle. Nez intense, au fruité frais, mûr et subtil, accompagné d’une touche d’orange. L’entrée en bouche séduit immédiatement par la minutie de sa texture. Très fondant en milieu de bouche, le vin gagne en nuances aromatiques, avant de s’achever gras, sans cesse aérien, long et même complexe. Ensemble délicieux. 2022-2032 »

« The 2019 Latour-Martillac Blanc was picked from 3 to 17 September at 50hl/ha and matured in 25% new oak. It has a crisp green apple and lemon thyme scented bouquet, introverted at first but it gradually finds its voice. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity. Subtle tropical notes of pineapple and orange rind with hints of strawberry come through on the finish. Excellent. »

91-93/100

« The 2019 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc is a richer, deeper effort, with plenty of honeyed lemon, nectarine, and orange blossom notes as well as a nicely textured, elegant style on the palate. It’s nicely concentrated, balanced white that does everything right. »

91-93/100

« The 2019 Latour-Martillac Blanc is distinguished by its sense of texture and power. Lemon confit, chamomile, apricot, almond, sage and dried flowers all flesh out effortlessly. Radiant and generous in feel, the Blanc should drink well upon release. »

« Jaune clair aux reflets verts. Bouquet de bonne intensité révélant des notes d'agrumes, de pêches blanches et une touche de verveine. Beaucoup de fraîcheur en bouche où le vin présente une touche saline et de filigranes nuances aromatiques. Un vin racé et fin que l'on pourra déjà savourer dans sa jeunesse mais qui dispose d'un bon potentiel. Finale fruitée et saline. Maintenant – 2034 » 58% Sauvignon Blanc, 42% Sémillon
