Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 22 Apr 21
The Lespault-Martillac 2018 Blanc is a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, fermented in oak barriques, 35% new. It springs from the glass with vibrant notes of fresh grapefruit, lime blossoms and yuzu zest with touches of chalk dust and struck flint. The medium-bodied palate has a lovely suggestion of creaminess to the texture with a lively backbone cutting through the intense citrus layers, finishing on a lingering mineral note.

The 2018 Lespault-Martillac Blanc has quite an elegant nose of yellow fruit, orange blossom and light damp straw aromas; I would have liked more intensity here. The palate is well balanced with orange peel and ginger on the entry. I find this a little pinched at the moment, and consequently a bit short on the finish, so I would afford it 12–18 months to loosen up in bottle.

Pessac-Léognan Fine Wine

Pessac-Leognan

Pessac-Léognan, an esteemed Bordeaux appellation in the Graves region, is renowned for both red and white wines. The reds are elegant and complex, with earthy notes, blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, and graphite, supported by refined tannins and excellent ageing potential. The whites, primarily from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, are fresh, aromatic, and balanced, with citrus, tropical fruit, and floral notes, plus a creamy texture from barrel ageing. Top producers include Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, and Château Pape Clément.
