The Estate

The Château Latour-Martillac estate owes its name to the tower that rises in the castle courtyard, a remnant of a 12th-century fort built by Montesquieu's ancestors. In 1871, the property was purchased by Edouard Kressmann, who was captivated by the quality of the estate's wines and had just founded his own wine trading house. In 1930, Alfred Kressmann, Edouard's eldest son, took over the reins of the estate and began a long process of restructuring. The vineyard, which then comprised around fifteen hectares, mainly planted with white wines, was supplemented with Cabernet Sauvignon. This long process, interrupted by the war, was continued by Jean Kressmann, who succeeded his father in 1954. Château Latour-Martillac is a Grand Cru Classé de Graves, available in both red and white. The family tradition continues today with Tristan and Loïc, Jean's sons, who work passionately to harvest the best of this authentic Graves terroir.

The terroir

Located on the plateau overlooking the village of Martillac, the vineyard rests on a soil of Günzian gravel from the Quaternary.

The grape variety

Cabernet Sauvignon is a black grape variety. It is undoubtedly the most famous grape variety in the world and the king of Bordeaux. It produces full-bodied, powerful, and tannic wines with exceptional aging potential. Merlot is a cross between Cabernet Franc and Magdeleine Noire; it is dark in color and offers a superb aromatic palette. Petit Verdot is, in a way, the third role in the blends of Bordeaux châteaux. It brings its own touch that will perfectly refine the great Médoc wines.

The wine

This Château Latour-Martillac is a Pessac-Léognan red with a deep ruby ​​color. The nose reveals aromas of black fruits complemented by notes of smoke, licorice, and tobacco. The attack is fresh and ample, the palate is powerful and fleshy. This is an elegant wine with firm tannins that promise solid aging potential. This magnificent Pessac-Léognan will pair perfectly with red meat in sauce, grilled white meat, or a charcuterie board.

Dare to try small bottles of wine!
