Lagrave Martillac White 2018 is a fine introduction to the white wines of Pessac-Léognan. It is the white second wine of Château Latour-Martillac, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon selected from younger-vine parcels on the estate. That gives the wine a clear link to a classified Graves property, while keeping the style approachable and direct.
For the 2018 vintage, the blend is 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Sémillon. The grapes were harvested by hand, parcel by parcel, with fermentation in barriques. Seven months on the lees in French oak barrels, including a modest proportion of new oak, adds roundness while keeping the fresh profile of white Bordeaux in focus.

Lagrave Martillac White 2022
In stock
Lagrave Martillac White 2022 is a white Bordeaux from Pessac-Léognan, produced by Château Latour-Martillac / Vignobles Jean Kressmann in Martillac. It is the château's second white wine, a cuvée that has held that position since 1990.
The 2022 vintage is made from an equal blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. That combination gives the wine its tension: fresh citrus-driven energy on one side, a rounder and softer impression on the other. The grapes come from clay-limestone soils on the estate's eastern slope, where the white vineyard covers 9 hectares within a total estate area of 55 hectares. The vines average 30 years of age, and the estate works traditionally and sustainably, with Haute Valeur Environnementale certification.
