The 2024 Latour-Martillac Blanc has a composed and more complex bouquet than some of its peers: hints of apricot, pear and a touch of beeswax emerge with time. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity. This is a little more lime-driven than expected, but there is fine tension towards the finish and decent length. Good potential.

A focused, balanced, vivid and precise white, offering aromas and flavors of green pears, mangoes and fresh lemons. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Precise and lively with a delicious finish. Rating: 93-94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2025)
52 SB 48 Sem Already some smoky spicy notes of oak and dried citrus peel fruit underneath. Fresh zippy acidity and with a chalky mineral edge on the finish. Rating: 88 Rod Smith MW, www.timatkin.com (Apr 2025)
The 2024 Latour-Martillac Blanc is a very classy wine that shows just how appealing the vintage is for whites. Brisk and finely cut, with notable textural depth, the 2024 is incredibly attractive. Citrus peel, white flowers, slate, mint, chalk and white pepper all race out of the glass. The 2024 has real depth and resonance. This is such a classic. Tasted two times. Drinking range: 2027 - 2040 Rating: 91-93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2025)
Château Latour Martillac
The 'tour' of the estate's name is a tower that stands in the main courtyard of the estate - it is all that remains of a 12th century fort. The rest of the fort was demolished and the stones used to built the château sometime in the 18th century. A Bordeaux wine merchant, Edouard Kressmann, purchased the estate in 1871 and the Kressmann family own and run it to this day. In 1930, the striking art-deco inspired label was created. Also in 1930, the word 'Martillac' was appended to the name to avoid confusion with any other Château Latours there might be. They produce both red and white Pessac-Léognan, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot vines being grown on the slightly higher gravel soils of the Martillac plateau above the château and Merlot, Sauvignon and Semillon growing on the clay/limestone land nearer the River Garonne.
