  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, April 2025, Score: 92-94

    Generous and interesting nose of dried apple slices, waxy fruit, chamomile tea and petrichor. Concentrated and quite intense on the palate, with some ginger spice coming in, but kept well in balance with a brisk saline acidity. Lovely.

  • Neal Martin, April 2025, Score: 92-94

    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.

  • James Suckling, May 2025, Score: 93-94

    A focused, balanced, vivid and precise white, offering aromas and flavors of green pears, mangoes and fresh lemons. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Precise and lively with a delicious finish.

  • Jane Anson, April 2025, Score: 93

    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.

Château Latour Martillac in Pessac Léognan produces both a Grand Cru Classé red and white. It has been owned by the Kressmann family since the mid nineteenth century, currently overseen by brothers Tristan and Loïc. The winemaking and viticulture team headed up by Valérie Vialard have been integral to the estate’s success over the past two decades. Its white – a barrel femented blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc – is quite possibly one of the best value in the whole region, offering a quintessential example of great white Bordeaux at an extremely reasonable price. Its reds are firm and leafy, and characteristic of the Grave’s blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.Read less

Region

Pessac-Léognan

Stretching from the rather unglamorous southern suburbs of Bordeaux, for 50 km along the left bank of the river Garonne, lies Graves. Named for its gravelly soil, a relic of Ice Age glaciers, this is the birthplace of claret, despatched from the Middle Ages onwards from the nearby quayside to England in vast quantities. It can feel as though Bordeaux is just about red wines, but some sensational white wines are produced in this area from a blend of sauvignon blanc, Semillon and, occasionally, muscadelle grapes, often fermented and aged in barrel. In particular, Domaine de Chevalier is renowned for its superbly complex whites, which continue to develop in bottle over decades. A premium appellation, Pessac-Leognan, was created in 1987 for the most prestigious terroirs within Graves. These are soils with exceptional drainage, made up of gravel terraces built up in layers over many millennia, and consequently thrive in mediocre vintages but are less likely to perform well in hotter years. These wines were appraised and graded in their own classification system in 1953 and updated in 1959, but, like the 1855 classification system, this should be regarded with caution and the wines must absolutely be assessed on their own current merits.
