Tasting Notes
"The finest vintage I've tasted from this estate, the 2020 Château Lespault-Martillac is full-bodied, round, and sexy, with a terrific mouthfeel as well as classic darker currant fruit, notes of chocolate and tobacco, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's a little gem of a Pessac-Léognan to drink over the coming two decades." - Jeb Dunnuck, (03/30/2023), Ratings: 94
"The 2020 Lespault-Martillac is a gorgeous, effusive wine. Succulent dark plum, blood orange, menthol, licorice, mocha and blood orange all flesh out in this ample, beautifully resonant Graves. All the elements are so well-balanced. Plush contours and silky tannins add to its immense charm. What a beautiful wine this is. The aromatics are especially on point. Tasted two times." - Antonio Gallloni, (02/24/2023), Ratings: 94
"The 2020 Lespault-Martillac has a deep purple-black color and needs a little swirling to unlock wonderfully pure notes of crushed black plums, fresh blackberries and black cherries with touches of redcurrants, cinnamon toast and garrigue, plus a hint of wet slate. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers fantastic tension and firm, finely grained tannins with an impressive intensity of black fruit and mineral layers, finishing long with an herbal lift. Impressive showing!" - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate, (05/20/2021), Ratings: 92-94
