This is really excellent with straw, cooked apples and hints of peaches. Full-bodied, layered and tight with a beautiful center palate of fruit and freshness. Tight now. Great acidity. Better in 2021.

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.

The 2017 Lespault-Martillac Blanc is endowed with a compelling interplay of bright, citrus/floral notes, with plenty of depth and textural richness that carries through to the finish. Lemon confit, almonds, dried flowers and mint add the closing nuances of complexity. Tasted two times.

The 2017 Chateau Lespault-Martillac Blanc is a beauty, and I’d be happy to have bottles in the cellar. Revealing a vivid gold hue as well as bright lemon-laced fruits and some salty minerality, it’s medium-bodied, has a pretty, seamless mouthfeel, terrific balance, and a clean, lively finish. Drink it over the coming decade or so.

This takes a broad and creamy approach, with Jonagold apple, lemon curd and heather notes leading the way, backed by verbena, macadamia nut and pear hints. A streak of quinine adds tension and lift, making this a distinctive and delicious offering. Drink now through 2022.

The Lespault-Martillac 2017 Blanc opens with a waft of SO2 over a core of ripe apples, pears and grapefruit plus hints of dill seed and crushed stones. The palate is medium-bodied, crisp and elegant, with a very lively backbone, finishing minerally. The blend is 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Sémillon. It was fermented in French oak barrels, 35% new, and aged on its lees for nine months.
