Latour-Martillac Pessac-Léognan Blanc 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Bordeaux
R725
‘The 2020 Latour-Martillac Blanc has shut down since tasting from barrel, yet it opens with yellow plum, jasmine and light frangipane scents. I admire the precision here. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite taut and well defined. Real precision on the finish that drags you back for one more sip. This is a classy dry white Bordeaux that will give immense pleasure over a number of years. 2024-2040’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 94/100
‘Easy-going, subtle charm, finely boned structure, lime blossom and citrus, enjoyable, soft on the finish with plenty of charm. 44hl/ha yield, 25% new oak, with lees stirring. Diam cork closure. 2023-2030’ – Jane Anson, janeanson.com, 92/100
‘Unwinding in the glass with aromas of pastry cream, grapefruit, beeswax and macadamia nut, the 2020 Latour Martillac Blanc is medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with ripe acids, chalky extract and a saline finish. 2023-2033’ – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 91/100
