The 2021 Lespault Martillac Rouge from Château Lespault-Martillac in Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, is a stunning representation of the region's renowned red wines. In the glass, it boasts a deep ruby hue with purple undertones, hinting at its youthfulness. On the nose, intense aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and black cherry mingle with notes of cedar and tobacco, showcasing the wine's elegant and complex bouquet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with ripe tannins and a velvety texture. Flavors of dark berries, spice, and a touch of minerality create a harmonious and lingering finish. With its balance of fruit and structure, this 2021 vintage is a promising addition to Château Lespault-Martillac's already impressive portfolio. Pair it with a hearty beef stew or a charcuterie platter for a truly indulgent experience.
Winemakers Notes
The 2021 vintage
"Born from a complicated vintage, Whites and Reds are still very classy
This 2021 vintage will go down in history for two climatically opposed reasons: A chaotic climatic and viticultural season, severe frosts and heavy rains
favoring mildew.
A real training for all of our vineyards,
on the way (conversion) to organic farming
!
An extraordinary end to the season, for the maturity and the harvest,
under the great anticyclone, allowing two great successes, in White as in Red"
Olivier Bernard
2021 Tasting Notes - Lespault-Martillac Red, AOC PEssac-Leognan
Beautiful deep color, dark red, and brilliant.
Intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits. Leather, cocoa and spices. Graphite and fresh gravelly earth for the mineral side. On the palate, the wine is pure, ample, velvety and concentrated. It is generous in taste and energetic, which gives it an intense radiance of ripe fruit. A nice structure of fine, ripe
tannins gives a silky tactile sensation that continues on the finish.
This racy, balanced and round wine provides a delicate and immediate pleasure that characterizes its typicality
