Description

Chateau Latour Martillac is one of the most recognizable chateaux in Pessac Leognan. This is because of the famous tower that rests in front of the chateau. In fact, the tower is where the property found the first part of its name. While the property was first developed in the 12th century, the tower is the only section from the original, small, fortified castle.

Today, the 6 children of Jean Kressmann own the domain and continue on the family tradition. Tristan and Loïc, the two younger sons, manage the estate with the assistance of the best wine consultants in Bordeaux. With each following vintage they produce the best from this authentic Graves soil.

Tasting Notes

Grape Blend: 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot

2014 has a deep purple colour. An aromatic nose, offering up fresh red fruits (blackcurrant), notes of balsamic and spices. In the mouth, there is a dense and powerful structure with a lot of richness. The tannins are velvety. The finish is resolutely on the fruits, with notes of cherries and juicy prunes, but also some delicate floral notes (violet) and sweet spices. Good ageing potential for this vintage thanks to the Cabernet Sauvignon. A future grand classic of the property
