Expert Reviews
The estate takes its name from the remnant of a 12th-century fort in the main courtyard. Grapes for the red wines are rigorously sorted before fermentation in stainless steel. The 2016 blends 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot, aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 40% new, produced under the direction of Loïc Kressmann and winemaker Valérie Vialard. Andy Howard MW: Wonderful nose: intense, dark fruit, vibrant yet has a balance of cool menthol. Plush palate, soft, generous ripeness and perfectly integrated oak. Robert Mathias: Smoked wood and clove with richness and generosity of fruit, more open on the palate with a fine texture and very good intensity and freshness. Tim Triptree MW: Ripe black cherry, plum and blackberry fruits leap from the glass, revealing complex cedar, leather and cinnamon spice nuances. Full and opulent fruit palate, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity.
This is very perfumed with blackberry and blueberry aromas, but shows a hot-stone and blanched-almond undertone. Medium-to full-bodied with tight and silky tannins that are extremely polished and beautiful. Love the length and balance to this. Try after 2022.
The 2016 Latour Martillac is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with warm plums, kirsch and redcurrant jelly on the nose with touches of bay leaves, iron ore and black soil. Medium-bodied with a well-sustained mid-palate of muscular fruit, it has a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing very long.
