Cassis, blackcurrants, smoky tobacco, and scorched earth notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Latour-Martillac, a remarkably pure, medium to full-bodied Pessac-Léognan that has a great mid-palate, pure, polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. Based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot, it’s a brilliant 2022 that should be snatched up by readers.
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes.

Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

An attractive Latour-Martillac showing ripe black cherries, dark plums and touches of cigar and fine spices. An underlying mineral twist makes it even more interesting. Juicy and ripe but fresh, with a medium to full body and a matrix of fine, firm tannins beneath the fruit, which shows good fleshiness. Beautifully balanced and long. Drink from 2027.

Youthfully compact, with its core of red and black currant preserve sitting behind a mix of warm tar, alder and chestnut notes. Dark tobacco and leather notes stretch out the finish and add a textural element as well, as the fruit keeps pace. Solid. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2040.

The 2022 Latour-Martillac is s powerful, brooding wine, just as it was en primeur. A blast of dark red fruit, leather, spice, dried herbs and licorice are all delineated in the glass. The 2022 packs a pretty intense punch. A few years in bottle will help to some degree.

The 2022 from Latour-Martillac is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with 42% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot. This has produced a nose of sweet and primary berry fruits, with dried cranberry and blackcurrant, swirled with rose petals, violets and crushed chalk, as well as a bright and peppery energy. This very pure and floral style is transmitted faithfully onto the palate, which displays a full yet finely polished texture, showing an easy-going and relaxed harmony, with the fragrant and perfumed fruit from the nose, wrapped in honeyed oak as well as multiple ribbons of peppery tannin. A very fine Latour-Martillac here which will surely repay keeping;with all this grip, which lingers long and confident in the length, give it a decade at least. Tasted twice. The alcohol on the label is 14.5%.
