Chateau Latour-Martillac 2020, Pessac Leognan Cru Classé (750ml)

Country/ Region:
Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux, France

Background:
Château Latour-Martillac 2020 is a classic, terroir-driven Bordeaux from the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Acclaimed for its signature blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, this Grand Cru Classé de Graves is celebrated for its lush, dark-fruit profile, smoky tobacco notes, and remarkable aging potential.

Winemaking:
The estate combines the use of thermo-regulated stainless steel and oak vats, followed by careful aging in French oak barrels.

Grapes: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot & 10% Petit Verdot

Tasting note:
The layers of sweet, lemons, grapefruit, pineapple and oranges on the palate balance their proclivity to creaminess with freshness, leaving you with waves of luscious, yellow citrus, green apples, pears and white peaches with a touch of chalk on the backend of the endnote.

Food Pairing:
Pair the 2020 Château Latour-Martillac Rouge with richly flavored, savory dishes like prime ribeye steak, roasted lamb, or duck breast. Its structured tannins and dark fruit notes also elevate earthy truffle pasta and smoked meats.
