Description
The estate takes its name from the tower which stands in the main courtyard of the château; it is the remnant of a fort built in the 12th century by the ancestors of Montesquieu. The structure occupied a strategic position and controlled the route between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The stones of the fort were used to build the existing château at the end of the 18th century.
The second wine of Château LaTour-Martillac is presented under the label Lagrave-Martillac.
Lagrave-Martillac red was created in 1986, its declination into white was in 1990. They are both made from plot selections of some young vines on the property. The care taken by the technical team and the vinification process are identical to that of the first wine.
