Aromas of dried lemon zest, green apples, toasted nuts, flint and hay. It's medium-bodied with bright acidity and a dense, waxy texture. Tight, energetic and focused. Long. Give it a few years in bottle to see its full potential.

The Latour Martillac 2018 Blanc rolls out of the glass with upfront notes of spiced pears, lemon curd and lime cordial, plus hints of chalk dust, apple blossoms and coriander seed.

It has delicately played citrus and stone fruit layers with a reassuring chalkiness to the finish. I love how this wine has managed to keep its cool in 2018- nicely done!
