2023 Château Latour-Martillac Lagrave-Martillac Blanc

Product Description

The Sauvignon Blanc and the Semillon grapes are manually harvested in successive selections according to the progress of their ripeness. The bunches are transported in their crates, to keep them intact and on reaching the cellar, a further selection is carried out on a sorting table.

The grapes are then pressed gently to extract the aromas of the skins. The must is clarified naturally before being put in barrels for the fermentation and ageing on lees. A regular stirring of the lees is carried out all the way through the ageing process to add flavour and structure.

The 2023 vintage was marked by very unstable weather at the start of the season, characterized by a hot and humid Spring, which resulted in a constant battle against mildew. Fortunately, the second half of the season was much better, allowing both the red and white grapes to reach perfect ripeness.

Pale colour with light green reflections. The nose is expressive, with scents of citrus and white peach, with a hint of white flowers (hawthorn) and aok. Fresh and fruity, the palate reveals aromas of yellow-fleshed stone fruits (peach, apricot, mirabelle plum), complemented by a subtle touch of almond. The finish is fresh, long and persistant, marked by an elegant acidity and intense aromas of Corsican citron and pomelo peel.
