Château Latour-Martillac 2023 Blanc
Château Latour-Martillac 2023 Blanc is a classic example from the winery with a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon. This wine is known for its aromatic profile with exotic fruits and citrus aromas, as well as delicate aromas of white peach. The wine has a beautiful tension that provides freshness and supports its body and richness in the finish.
Harvest conditions 2023
After the challenges of 2021 and 2022, the 2023 vintage also brought new challenges, especially for our teams in the vineyards. The year started with very unstable weather, marked by a warm and humid spring, which resulted in a continuous battle against mildew. Fortunately, the weather improved in the second half of the season, allowing both the red and white grapes to ripen perfectly.
- Winter : Mild, except for a cool February.
- Bud formation : Early April, as in recent years.
- Spring : Characterized by two nights of frost (3-5 April) without damage thanks to protective equipment.
- Flowering period : End of May to beginning of June, during a dry, warm period.
- Growth : Very fast growth of the vines due to high temperatures and heavy rainfall in June (89 mm).
- July-August : Cool weather, which allowed for slow ripening of the grapes.
Harvest
The harvest for the white grapes began on August 28th with the first plots of Sauvignon Blanc and ended on September 12th with the Sémillon. The style of the wine is fresh, with good fruitiness, generosity and great minerality.
- Sauvignon Blanc : August 28 to September 11
- Sémillon : September 4 to September 12
Assembly
- Grape varieties : 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon
- Alcohol content : 13%
- Total acidity : 5.4
- pH : 3.2
Upbringing
- 25% matured in new barrels
Vineyard management
The year was marked by an unstable beginning, but a favourable second half, resulting in an excellent ripening of the grapes. The protective equipment and precise harvesting methods ensured that the quality of the harvest was optimal, despite the challenges of mildew and variable weather conditions.

Wine and food pairings with Château Latour-Martillac Blanc 2024
- Oysters with lemon and samphire – the salty and mineral character of the wine matches the freshness of the shellfish.
- Grilled sea bass with fennel and orange – the citrus aromas in the wine enhance the refined flavours of the dish.
- Chicken fillet in creamy tarragon-mustard sauce – the creaminess of the sauce is balanced by the lively acidity of the wine.
- Pasta with green asparagus and Parmesan – a harmonious combination of freshness, bitterness and saltiness.
- Ravioli filled with lobster and saffron cream – a rich, aromatic pairing with texture and finesse.
- Salad with smoked duck breast, apple and walnuts – the sweet-sour and nutty elements are beautifully carried by the freshness of the wine.

Wijnhuis
The estate owes its name to the tower that stands in the courtyard of the castle. It is the remnant of a fortress built in the 12th century by Montesquieu's ancestors. At that time, the fortress had a strategic position and controlled the road that connected Bordeaux to Toulouse. The stones of the fortress were used at the end of the 18th century to build the current castle.
In 1871, the estate attracted the attention of Edouard Kressmann, who had just founded his trading house in Bordeaux. He was seduced by the quality of the white wines. Alfred Kressmann, Edouard's eldest son, finally bought the estate in 1930. He changed the name to Château Latour-Martillac. Today, Jean Kressmann's children continue the family tradition, with Tristan and Loïc, the two youngest sons, in charge of the general management. Year after year, with the help of the best oenologists in Bordeaux, they make the most of this authentic "terroir de Graves".
