Latour Martillac refers the tower that was once part of a small fort built in Martillac in the 12th century by the forefathers of the famous philosopher and vine grower Montesquieu. Edouard Kressmann, wine merchant in Bordeaux since 1871, drew his attention on this estate in particular for the quality of its white wines. His eldest son, Alfred bought the estate in 1930, and developed the red vineyards with his son Jean, on the gravelly summits of the Martillac village. Together they designed the original label, with gold and sandy stripes, that decorate the bottles since 1934. Today, Tristan and Loïc Kressmann, Jean Kressmann's youngest sons, carry on the family tradition.

The Merlots are fruity, soft, delicate and suave. The Petits Verdots are tauter, characterized by blueberry and spice notes, powerful tannins and a fresh, juicy finish. The Cabernet Sauvignons - the majority in the blend - are remarkable and particularly aromatic (blackcurrant, cachou). The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have a soft, sweet mouthfeel, with powerful, velvety tannins that give this blend great elegance and character.
