Description
Characteristics and tasting notes of Château Lespault-Martillac red 2025
Tasting
Nose
This wine elegantly expresses all the generosity of its vintage. The nose reveals a pure and refined aromatic palette, unfolding ripe red and black fruits, crisp and remarkably fresh, with an intensity and precision that immediately signal the excellence of the 2025 vintage.
Palate
The texture is smooth, fleshy and deliciously indulgent, gracefully enveloping a ripe, dense and perfectly pure tannic structure. The balance is remarkable, carried by a beautiful freshness that brings tension and vitality to the whole. The long, persistent finish leaves a generous and refined aromatic imprint on the palate, bearing witness to the great potential of this vintage.
A Pessac-Léognan red wine of seductive freshness and structure
The estate
A historic property located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation with irresistible charm, Château Lespault-Martillac has experienced a true qualitative renaissance. Since 2009, the management of Château Lespault-Martillac has been entrusted to Domaine de Chevalier, Grand Cru Classé de Graves, under the direction of Olivier Bernard who, with passion and determination, has raised the property to its highest level by revealing its exceptional terroir at the gates of Bordeaux.
The vineyard
Château Lespault-Martillac is a Pessac-Léognan wine produced from a vineyard of which 8 hectares are dedicated to red wines and 1.5 hectares to white wines. With an average age of 40 years, the vines are planted on deep gravel soils resting on clay-gravel subsoils.
The vintage
The 2025 vintage benefited from exceptional climatic conditions: a rainy winter ensuring good water reserves, a mild spring favouring an early and even flowering, then a hot and dry summer allowing optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest, spread from late August to 26 September, was carried out in excellent conditions, with satisfying yields. The result is wines of great aromatic richness, combining freshness, complexity and elegance, both in white and red.Winemaking and ageing
Hand-harvested, the grapes undergo several rigorous sorting stages at the harvest as well as at the cellar, before and after destemming. Favouring moderate extraction, vinification in small concrete vats is accompanied by manual pumping over and punching down. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels, as does ageing for a period of 14 months (1/3 new barrels). Alcohol content: 13% vol.
Blend
Merlot (65%)
