Château Latour Martillac, Blanc, Pessac Leognan, 2023
critic reviews
The 2023 Latour-Martillac Blanc has an attractive bouquet, with hints of white flower, the tincture, the malic fruit. Good intensity. The palate is fresh and vibrant. Ample weight with a dash of pepper, not persistent and yet it should still drink well for several years.
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 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.
