This wine evinces pleasing refinement, with clean fruit and a composed feel on the palate. Aromas of ripe cherry and blackberry come through clearly, complemented by subtle floral hints of violet, along with touches of vanilla and a faint note of eucalyptus leaf. The attack is supple and well–defined, with a slightly austere edge at this stage that should integrate further with barrel ageing (16 months, 35% new oak). There’s an appealing interplay of red and black fruit, giving the mid–palate a vibrant, lifted character, supported by fine, velvety tannins that lend structure without heaviness. Despite the warmth of the vintage, the wine retains a welcome freshness, bringing tension and precision. The finish is harmonious and clean, if not especially long, but it remains elegant and well–balanced overall. Drinking range: 2030 - 2040 Rating: 94 Georgie Hindle - Decanter (Apr 2026)

Elegant and harmonious, the 2025 Latour Martillac wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis, mulberries, lead pencil and spice. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it’s built around a fleshy core of fruit and framed by an assertive tannic structure, concluding with a long, spicy finish. More reserved on the palate than the nose suggests, it should gain in depth and balance with élevage. Rating: 90-92 Yohan Castaing, www.robertparker.com (Apr 2026)

Focused and juicy, with a medium body and fine, ripe tannins. Generously fruited, with a dense center palate and a chocolaty finish. Rating: 93-94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2026)

The 2025 Latour-Martillac is quite powerful and imposing but nicely balanced. Dark red/purplish fruit, mocha and floral notes convey quite a bit of brightness to balance the natural intensity of the year. There's gorgeous substance here.

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.
