Château Latour-Martillac White

The very wet winter gave way to a mild and particularly dry spring, with only 40 mm of precipitation in March-April, compared to 70 mm on average. This month of April was marked by several episodes of frost, causing some damage to the earliest plots.

Flowering, at the beginning of June, was particularly uniform. The summer was relatively cool, with the exception of a heat wave at the end of July and mid-August, which led to a slight delay in the veraison.

The white grape harvest began late on September 9th and ended on September 21st. 2021 is the first vintage drived by Edouard Kressmann.

Period of harvest
Sauvignon Blanc: Sept. 9 to 21
Sémillon: Sept. 15 to 21

Blending :
57% Sauvignon Blanc
43% Sémillon

Tasting notes

Château Latour-Martillac 2021 is a promising white vintage. Straw-yellow in color with crystalline highlights, the nose reveals fruit aromas (citrus, pear, pineapple), with hints of almond and white flowers (jasmine). The attack on the palate is precise and taut, with notes of tropical fruits. The body is balanced and unctuous, with a hint of salinity. The long finish is refreshing and full of energy.
