2020 Lagrave Martillac Blanc

The wine presents a pale yellow hue with greenish reflections, visually suggesting freshness and vitality. It opens with an aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits, complemented by apple, peach, a hint of melon, and subtle floral notes of jasmine alongside acacia honey. This aromatic complexity makes the first impression both inviting and sophisticated.
The blend, consisting of 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50% Sémillon, strikes a balance, marrying the fresh, elegant profile of Sauvignon Blanc with the lush expression of Sémillon.

Sight: Medium garnet color with an orange rim, indicating some development due to ageing.
Nose: Pronounced intensity with complex aromas of red and black fruit, such as cherry, plum, and blackberry, along with tertiary aromas of leather, tobacco, and earth. There are also notes of vanilla and spice from the oak aging.
Palate: Dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, and a medium body. Flavors of cherry, plum, and tobacco are accompanied by a long finish.
This wine demands further aging. Its high acidity and tannins suggest to me that it can be aged for many years.

Sight: Deep garnet color with a slight brick hue at the rim

Palate: Dry with high acidity, medium to full body, and silky tannins. Flavors of red berries, leather, spices, and vanilla. The wine has a long and elegant finish.
This wine is drinkable now, but will greatly improve with further aging. The wine's high acidity and firm tannins suggest that it has the potential to age and improve for many years in the cellar.
