Château Latour-Martillac, Grand Cru Classé

Château Latour-Martillac, a Graves Cru Classé in red and white since 1953, owes its name to the tower that adorns its main courtyard, a vestige of a fortress built in Martillac in the 12th century by the ancestors of the famous philosopher and winemaker Montesquieu.
Situated on an exceptional hillside of Pyrenean gravel, this estate attracted ... the attention of Edouard Kressmann, a Bordeaux wine merchant since 1871, in particular for the quality of his white wines. His eldest son, Alfred, bought the estate in 1930. He developed the vineyard into red wines and, with his son Jean, designed the current gold and sand barred label, which has adorned the bottles since 1934.
Today, Tristan and Loïc Kressmann continue the family tradition of always favouring quality over yield on this authentic gravelly terroir.
With their elegant structure and harmony, the red and white wines of Latour-Martillac are recognised as the best of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
The team at Château Latour-Martillac invites wine lovers to come and spend a privileged moment in an exceptional place of charm and tranquillity, located just 30 minutes from Bordeaux.
