Inside Bordeaux

Lime juice, citrus fruit, fresh peach, kiwi, liqourice and slate character, good grip and lift. Unfussy and bright.

The 2022 Latour-Martillac Blanc strides confidently out of the glass with pronounced notes of spiced apples, juicy peaches, and green mango, followed by hints of lime leaves and chalk dust. The medium-bodied palate delivers great intensity, with a refreshing line and long, zesty finish.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

The white 2021 Latour-Martillac opens with notes of lime blossom and yuzu, giving way to a core of yellow apples and dill seed. The light to medium-bodied palate is intense and racy, with bags of zesty fruit and a spicy lift to the finish.

Drakk den til torsk, stappe og bacon.
Litt anonym, men delikat.
Lukter litt pære, god munnfølelse. Litt syrlig. Brennhutu.

Amatør

Lys grønngul farge. Konsentrert. Duft og smak av nesler, eple og vegetale toner på duft og smak. Utviklet aromabilde i anslaget med fedme, honningtoner og mineraler. Noe fatpreg. Medium pluss syrlighet og lang ettersmak. Dekanter vinen en time før servering.

Sommelier

Noe fatpreget, hvit Bordeaux som begynner å komme rundt, men som trenger noen år til. Sitrus, eple. Og fatkrydder og stramming og tørrring i finish. Trekk for det.

Deilig, fikk Flash til noen barndomsminner, kan være lukten av Sharp drops. 

God lengde, fedme. Intergrering av 13.5% på en topp måte. Dette til blåskjell var helt topp. Trenger litt tid for å få fatpreg til å roe seg litt. 

A brilliant Pessac white at five years old, probably the upper limit of where most of us feel comfortable saving a white wine to be sure of guarding its fresh fruit flavours. You have zero issues if you have done so with this wine - it is dripping with fresh juicy acidities, beautiful ripe lemon, peach and pear flavours and soft white pepper and sage spices. Just gorgeous, taut, balanced and delicious. 25% new oak. harvest September 6 to 20.

Colour just starting to deepen here to a golden sunflower. On the nose also, gentle touches of straw, honeysuckle and toasted brioche, the reflection of a warm sunny vintage. Harvest from August 31 to September 14. It has its charm, and is powerful still, displaying the fatter texture of the vintage. Gourmet and enjoyable.

Light and fresh, soft yellow-gold, and plenty of lift and momentum through the palate. Enjoyable, saffron streaked citrus and quince flavours, grilled almonds touches of campfire smoke. A lovely window into the subtle complexities of white Pessac as it ages. 25% new oak, harvest September 8 to 20.

WSET 3

👃 Sitrus, honning, hvite pærer, eple,  grapefrukt, vanilje, toast og et lite saltvannspreg.

👄 Det er en god fedme på denne. Et fint grapefruktbitt som sitter hele veien sammen med sitrus, honning, tørket aprikos og toast. Medium syre. Man kjenner at dette er en vin med litt alder.

Hvis du har noen av denne i kjelleren bør den drikkes ganske raskt da den er på vei nedover. Den er ikke ødelagt, men mangler frukt som jeg finner i andre årganger, og det er et blasst og endimensjonalt preg over hele.
