Note di degustazione
Clean citrus, honeyed lemon zest, and some minty, floral notes all emerge from the 2021 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc, another fresher, vibrant, medium-bodied white in the vintage. It has bright yet integrated acidity, beautiful overall balance, and outstanding length on the finish. The blend is 57% Sauvignon Blanc and 43% Semillon, aged 15 months in barrel.

The 2021 Latour-Martillac Blanc has a fresh and vibrant nose, crisp and citric with hints of lime and orange rind coming through with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, not quite as complex or mineral-driven as I hoped en primeur, but it has an attractive, praline-tinged finish of modest length. Fine.
The 2021 Latour-Martillac Blanc offers an intriguing mix of Sauvignon Blanc-driven vibrancy and Sémillon-inflected mid-palate creaminess. Dried pear, chamomile, mint, citrus peel and white flowers build nicely as this charming, effusive dry white opens with a bit of air.
The 2021 Blanc possesses a fresh, minty bouquet with aromas of white fruits, citrus, herbs and spring flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and supple palate with a fleshy core of fruit and bright acids and concluding with a saline, long finish. The significant presence of Sémillon grapes ensures a large potential for aging.
