Located on an outstanding Pyrenean gravel rise, this estate caught the eye of Édouard Kressmann, a Bordeaux wine merchant, in 1871. He was particularly impressed by the quality of the white wines. His eldest son, Alfred, finally bought the estate in 1930. He expanded the red wine vineyard and, in 1934, designed the bottle label with his son, Jean, featuring gold and sand-coloured diagonal stripes still in use today.
Nowadays, the estate’s technical teams, led by Technical Director, Edouard Kressmann, perpetuate the family tradition of producing quality rather than quantity from this outstanding Graves terroir.
Thanks to their elegant structure and good balance, Latour-Martillac red and white wines are widely recognised among the most reliable in the Pessac- Léognan appellation.
