Critic reviews
"A blend of 40% Merlot, 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2024 Lespault-Martillac exhales aromas of cassis, flowers and dark berries, followed by a medium-bodied palate with a round, juicy core of fruit that segues into a fruity but also somewhat firm, angular finish."
Yohan Castaing, April 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2024 Lespault-Martillac was picked from September 24 to October 5at 50 hl/ha. This has a slightly more floral bouquet with hints of iris flower permeating the black plummy fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, smooth and velvety in texture and a little lower in acidity than the Domaine de la Solitude, with an understated, slightly iodine-tinged finish. Fine."
Neal Martin, April 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2024 Lespault-Martillac is quite attractive. Pliant and creamy, with good mid-palate depth, Lespault shows quite well today. Blood orange and cherry fruit open first, followed by brighter notes of white pepper, spice, mint and cinnamon that lift the aromatics. This is a terrific showing for the year."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"Grilled smoky oak, deep plum and blueberry fruits, with redcurrants that emphasise the sharp acidity. This is skilfully made, aware of the shortcomings of the vintage, enjoyable but short on the finish. Harvest 24 September to 5 October. 30% new oak, in organic conversion, vineyard overseen by Domaine de Chevalier team."
