“This gem from Pessac-Léognan is refined, with a delicate texture and perfect balance!”
"The 2019 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc is outstanding, offering a rich, concentrated yet lively and elegant style that will age beautifully. The nose is marked by aromas of ripe lemon, honeyed grapefruit, chalky minerality, and subtle floral notes. The wine is medium-bodied to full-bodied, with excellent overall balance and a lovely finish. This is a top-class white Bordeaux with a longevity of over 15 years.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2022) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 12 bottles of this wine (depending on country and selected shipping method)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
This classified growth is a model of a family-run estate, with all the Kressmann children showing an almost filial devotion to their heritage and a very sound management style. The red has gained significantly in tannin finesse and textural elegance. The wines are classic, with an emphasis on fruit, quality tannins, and freshness. Under the guidance of the highly talented and meticulous Valérie Vialard, the whites are impeccable, precise, aromatic, and perfectly lively.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
While many of Bordeaux’s leading wine merchants have chosen to establish themselves in the Médoc, the Kressmanns opted for the Graves region and this estate, acquired in 1930, which takes its name from a tower that stands in its courtyard—a remnant of a château built in the 12th century by ancestors of Montesquieu. A beautiful 50-hectare estate renowned for both its white and red wines.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Here is a fine example of a family-owned estate, still in the hands of the Kressmanns, a historic family of Bordeaux wine merchants. Tristan and Loïc Kressmann are now at the helm of this cru classé, which enjoys a prime location on the Martillac plateau. Generation after generation has preserved the legacy passed down to them, while making steady progress in vineyard management and winemaking under the guidance of their cellar master, Valérie Vialard. The château inaugurated a new winemaking cellar for red wines with the 2019 vintage. Without succumbing to the allure of passing trends, the wines have retained their elegant and precise style; however, they are gaining in density. This highly convincing balance between tradition and modernity, as well as the particularly distinguished character of the latest vintages, leads us to award Latour-Martillac a second star.

About the wine:
This warm, ripe wine offers notes of yellow fruit along with an appealing hint of citrus. At this stage, barrel aging has imparted spicy and toasty notes, though these will fade as the wine fully integrates. Best enjoyed starting in 2024. - Roger Voss

A medium-bodied to full-bodied white wine with aromas of dried grapefruit, lemon curd, fennel, gooseberry, and clove. Rich, dense, and spicy, with a touch of liveliness. Enjoy now or cellar.

About the wine:
Light yellow with green highlights. A well-defined bouquet revealing notes of citrus, white peaches, and a hint of verbena. Very fresh on the palate, with a touch of salinity and delicate aromatic nuances. A refined and elegant wine that can be enjoyed now but has good aging potential. Fruity and salty finish. Now – 2034
