2022 Latour-Martillac Blanc (Pessac)

Media Reviews

Yohan Castaing

A blend of 52% Sauvignon Blanc and 48% Semillon, 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. 90-92 points

Jane Anson

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. 92 points

Antonio Galloni

The 2022 Latour-Martillac Blanc has plenty of energy, but not much in the way of mid-palate or finish. Ultimately it comes across as overly taut and austere at this stage. Let`s see what happens once this is in bottle. Tasted two times. 85-87 points

Neal Martin

The 2022 Latour-Martillac Blanc has a lovely bouquet, much more complex than some of its peers, with honeysuckle, beeswax, and touches of mirabelle. The palate is well balanced with a twist of sour lemon, moderate weight, lightly spiced toward the finish. This will do just nicely. 90-92 points
