description

Classified growth since 1953, the Latour Martillac Estate got its name from the Tower in the main courtyard, vestige of a small fort built in Martillac in the 12th century by the forefathers of the famous philosopher and vine grower Montesquieu.

Edouard Kressmann, wine merchant in Bordeaux since 1871, drew his attention on this estate in particular for the quality of its white wines. His eldest son, Alfred bought the estate in 1930, and developed the red vineyards with his son Jean, on the gravelly summits of the Martillac village.

Today, Tristan and Loïc Kressmann, Jean Kressmann's youngest sons, helped by some of the best wine specialists of the Bordeaux region, carry on the family tradition to make the most out of this true region of the Graves.
