Château Latour-Martillac Blanc 2020
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 2020 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc has a bright, pale yellow colour with a slight greenish hue. The nose is expressive, with fresh aromas of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, alongside white peach, green apple, and floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle. Subtle hints of minerality and toast contribute to its aromatic complexity, a result of partial barrel fermentation and aging. It's fresh and lively, with a creamy texture balanced by crisp acidity. Flavours of lemon zest, lime, and pear are prominent, interwoven with notes of stone fruits and a touch of salinity. The Sémillon adds roundness and depth, while the Sauvignon Blanc contributes brightness and lift. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, showcasing both the finesse and intensity typical of Pessac-Léognan whites. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, and creamy cheeses.
Domaine Hubert Brochard, Sancerre Terroir De Silex Fontaine-Audon 2024
Hubert Brochard's Terroir de Silex is Sancerre doing what only Sancerre can: turning a single grape variety and a patch of flint-rich soil into something that feels almost elemental. The Fontaine-Audon lieu-dit sits on pure silex — that distinctive gunflint soil that gives Loire Sauvignon Blanc its famously mineral, almost smoky edge. The 2024 vintage brought freshness and precision across the appellation, and this wine has both in abundance: white stone fruit, crisp citrus, and a nervy, saline finish that makes you reach for the next sip. We find this is exactly the style to open over the next two to four years, when the primary fruit is vivid and that flint-struck character is at its most expressive. It's a textbook argument for why Sancerre still matters. Drink now until 2030.
