Tasting Notes

The 2022 Latour-Martillac Blanc has an attractive nose with honeysuckle scents I noted from barrel, though it lacks a bit of mineralité. The palate is rounded in texture with lower acidity than I prefer and an oatmeal-like finish. This falls just below my expectations.

The 2022 Latour-Martillac Blanc is a bracing dry white. Chalk, white flowers and citrus peel are all vibrant in the glass. There are some hard edges, and this comes across a bit unyielding. Two bottles tasted.

Bright citrus, tart pineapple, and honeyed mint are just some of the nuances in the 2022 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc, a medium-bodied, vibrant, crisp white that certainly makes the most of the vintage. It shows plenty of ripeness and concentration, yet I love its acidity and balance.

A blend of 52% Sauvignon Blanc and 48% Sémillon, the 2022 Latour Martillac Blanc reveals aromas of pear, peach, iodine, lime tree and verbena. Medium to full-bodied, tense and mineral-driven with a salty, fresh finish, this is a classic and incisive Latour Martillac Blanc. YC

Golden colour, this has intense spiced nectarine and white pear aromatics, gentle apricot pit, smoked almond, citrus, apricot and fresher mint leaf on the finish. Enjoyable, soft finish. Harvest August 18 to 31, 25% new oak, 43hl/h yield.

Fresh and bright with lemon pith, white flowers and chalky minerality. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity. Really attractive and crisp.
