Chateau Lespault-Martillac 2018 Pessac Leognan

$ 4399

Winemaker Notes

The Lespault-Martillac red is round, supple, deep and fresh. It's medium to full-bodied with notable elegance and firm tannins. Its elegant structure and finesse give it a well-integrated, very soft, silky mouthfeel. You'll find currants, flowers, plums, licorice, tobacco leaf, cassis. black cherry, mint, and wild sage nuances on the palate. The oak is nicely integrated on the chocolate-tinged finish. Pair with leg of lamb or roasted red meat.

Critical Acclaim

94pts James Suckling
A creamy, nicely textured red with blueberry, chocolate, walnut and coffee character. It’s medium-to full-bodied, savory and lightly chewy. A tight, well structured red. Try after 2024.

93pts Robert Parker
A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Lespault-Martillac has a deep garnet-purple color, rolling out of the glass with compelling notes of crushed blackberries, fresh blueberries and mulberries, plus wafts of underbrush, wilted roses and red earth. The medium to full-bodied palate has impressive energy, featuring firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the muscular black fruits, finishing long and mineral laced. Nicely done!

93pts Wine Enthusiast
This wine, produced by the winemaking team of Domaine de Chevalier, is dense with solid tannins and black fruits. Everything is bursting with energy, still very young. But the wine has potential, the succulent black-currant flavors showing the way forward. Drink from 2025.

93pts Wine Spectator
This is packed with red currant, blackberry and red cherry and black cherry paste notes, supported by mouthwatering bramble and sweet bay accents and carried through the finish by a broad swath of tar. Built for the cellar. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2036.
