Château Latour-Martillac 2007

CHATEAU
As it is the case with the more famous Latour of Pauillac, here the name is derived from an ancient tower. Unlike Château Latour, the tower of Latour Martillac dates from the 12th century.
The earliest records concerning Latour-Martillac as a vineyard date only to the 19th century. At this time, the property was part of the Montesquieu estate, which also included the nearby Chateau la Brède. Although it was during this time that Latour-Martillac developed a separate identity, the wines were not widely known or of any great repute.

Since 1929, the Kressmann family owns the estate increasing the quality of their wines by investing into new chais and by purchasing adjacent land.

A very lightly honeyed nose, with notes of smoky oak. Less punchy and impressive than some of the other wines here, although there is good midpalate substance and a good presence of flesh. It has grip and structure too. Certainly a good wine
