Château Latour-Martillac Grand Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Leognan AOC

Thanks to the long involvement of generations of the Kressmann family, and the recognition shown in 1953 by the classification of Graves, the wines of Château LaTour-Martillac feature among the best of Pessac-Léognan. The expansion of the range was drawn up by Tristan and Loïc Kressmann. The second wines appeared at the end of the 1980’s under the label Lagrave-Martillac, followed by the Château Langlet, a magnificent property in the Graves appellation, acquired in 1999.

The year 2019 was marked by a succession of climatic events which made this vintage quite complex and interesting to watch voer the years.

Certified sustainable HVE (High Environmental Value).
