The 2016 Latour-Martillac Blanc has an attractive bouquet of pineapple, lemon zest and cold, wet limestone, the latter becoming more prominent with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity. White peach mixes with pink grapefruit and quince, all leading to a harmonious and quite persistent saline finish. This comes highly recommended for all dry white Bordeaux lovers. Score: 93 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2019-2032 01 January 2019 |

The Latour-Martillac 2016 Blanc was missing some complexity on the nose, especially after such brilliant examples produced in the previous two vintages. The palate is well balanced with orange rind and mandarin notes, though to be honest it is missing some tension on the finish and it does not draw you back for another sip. Score: 88 - 90 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2019-2027 28 April 2017 |

The 2016 Latour-Martillac Blanc is impeccable, not to mention incredibly inviting. Lemon confit and floral notes are creamy and beautifully textured in this delicious, super-appealing dry white. Score: 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2019-2023 01 January 2019 |

The 2016 Latour-Martillac Blanc offers lovely persistence from start to finish. Lemon confit, white flowers and sweet mint notes, along with the texture of the Sémillon, give the wine its midpalate creaminess and depth. This classy white will drink well upon release. Score: 88 - 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 01 April 2017 |

Tight and lemony with lots of citrus character and phenolic texture. This is structured and very long. Linear. More like a red in texture. Serious. Score: 93 - 94 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 04 April 2017 |

Racy and lean. Really sinewy. Bone dry. Even a bit austere.. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2023 04 April 2017 |

Good crackling feel here, with quinine and fleur de sel notes rippling underneath the mix of yellow apple, fennel and white peach flavors. Has range and energy. Score: 90 - 93 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 01 April 2017 |
