Château Latour-Martillac 2017

Latour-Martillac is a Bordeaux producer in the Pessac-Léognan region in the north of Graves. It makes Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant red blends as well as a dry white wine led by Sémillon. It was named a Classed Growth in the 1959 Classification of Graves and is one of the few producers to be named for both its red and white wines.

"The 2017 Latour-Martillac is a dark, powerful wine with a ton of Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness, depth and structure. Black cherry, graphite, spice, leather, lavender and menthol infuse the 2017 with striking character and power. The 2017 is a serious, at times stubborn, wine that needs time to soften. Even in the early going, though, it is impressive." Vinous, 94 points, 3/2020
