Owner's words
Château Latour-Martillac rouge 2023 spotlights Cabernet-Sauvignon (68%), blended with 20% Merlot and 12% Petit-Verdot – a record! This blend is found on the palate: The dark fruits of Cabernet-Sauvignon blend perfectly with the violet aromas of the Petit-Verdot. The wine's fruitiness persists all along the tasting. The tannins are fine and elegant, with a subtle touch of bitterness on the finish.
