Tasting Notes
Races out with intense scents of lime juice, yuzu, and Granny Smith apples, plus fragrant hints of white blossoms and elderflower. Light-bodied, the palate has loads of zip and zing with great precision and balance, finishing long and steely.

A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, the 2024 Blanc from Lespault-Martillac offers up aromas of white fruits, spring blossoms and confit citrus, followed by a lively, energetic and fresh palate that concludes with a mouthwatering, citrus-driven finish.
The 2024 Lespault-Martillac Blanc is one of the best recent vintages I have tasted. Deep in texture, with fabulous balance, the 2024 is so impressive. Lemon confit, crushed flowers, chamomile and spice build nicely, but it is the wine's textural presence and persistence that are most attractive. Superb.
Apricot blossom, citrus, apricot, peach pit and sage, excellent job with a juicy signoff, classic flavours of a Pessac Blanc. Harvest 4 to 12 September. 33% new oak. Domaine de Chevalier team. Stopped organics in 2024 but are starting again for the 2025 vintage.
