The estate
A historic estate with irresistible charm located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, the Château Lespault-Martillac has undergone 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 devoted 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 overlying clay-gravel subsoils.
The vintage
The 2025 vintage benefited from exceptional weather conditions: a rainy winter ensuring good water reserves, a mild spring favouring early and even flowering, then a hot and dry summer allowing optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest, staggered from late August to 26 September, took place under excellent conditions, with satisfactory yields. The result is wines of great aromatic richness, combining freshness, complexity and elegance, in both whites and reds.
Vinification and ageing
Three to five successive pickings according to ripeness levels. Pressing is slow, without destemming and without maceration in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Settling in vats by gravity. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in barrels. No malolactic fermentation. Ageing in barrels (¼ of which are new) for 9 months on lees with bâtonnage. Alcohol: 13% vol.
Blend
Sauvignon Blanc (75%)
Sémillon (25%).
