The Wines
Thanks to the long involvement of generations of the Kressmann family, and the recognition shown in 1953 by the classification of Graves, the wines of Château LaTour-Martillac feature among the best of Pessac-Léognan. The expansion of the range was drawn up by Tristan and Loïc Kressmann. The second wines appeared at the end of the 1980’s under the label Lagrave-Martillac, followed by the Château Langlet, a magnificent property in the Graves appellation, acquired in 1999.
Grapecap 1884
Named after the Latin “gratum caput” which means “precious vine”, Grapecap was planted in 1884 and is the oldest of Château Latour-Martillac’s plots. The Kressmann family decided to create a special wine from this unique heirloom, that will only be made in exceptional vintages for white wine.
