Latour Martillac, Pessac-Leognan 2019
Add something extra ▼
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Château Latour-Martillac takes its name from a tower in the estate courtyard, a remnant of a 12th-century fortress built by the ancestors of Montesquieu. Bordeaux wine merchant Édouard Kressmann took an interest in the property in 1871, particularly for its white wines, and his son Alfred purchased the estate in 1930. In 1953, Latour-Martillac was named a Cru Classé de Graves for both red and white wines, a distinction shared by just six estates. The Kressmann family continues to oversee the property today.
The 2019 is a Cabernet-led Bordeaux with the structure to reward patience. A warm, dry summer was balanced by rain at the end of July and cooler nights in September, helping the grapes reach maturity while retaining freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon provides the backbone, Merlot brings roundness, and Petit Verdot adds spice and tension. The château’s own recommended drinking window begins in 2026, so this is a good moment to open a bottle with a long decant or tuck it away for a few more years. Either way, it has plenty left to give.
Graves Classified Growth for both red and white wines. Grapes grown on the estate’s gravel plateau in Martillac. The 2019 blend is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot, aged in French oak barrels, 40% new, for approximately 14 months.
