critic reviews
The white Latour-Martillac 2023 is a little quiet and shy at this stage, offering glimpses of Bosc pears, lemonade, and applesauce, with touches of crushed rocks and white pepper. The medium-bodied palate is racy with good intensity, delivery citrus and mineral layers, with a savory lift on the finish.
Lime juice, citrus fruit, fresh peach, kiwi, liqourice and slate character, good grip and lift. Unfussy and bright.
The 2023 Latour-Martillac Blanc is a tense, steel dry white. Lemon peel, chalk, white pepper, sage, mint and crushed rocks lend brightness and energy. I like the vibrancy here, but I just wish there was a bit more mid-palate creaminess. At this stage, the Blanc is a bit austere. Tasted two times.
The 2023 Blanc from Latour Martillac reveals aromas of confit citron, lime, lime tree leaves, herbs and spices, followed by a juicy, round and layered palate framed by bright acids and a mouthwatering finish with delicate smoky hints. This blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon was matured 20% in new oak barrels.
