Score 91/100 · Drink 2023-2040, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Apr 2023

The 2020 Lespault-Martillac offers up aromas of cherries, licorice and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and polished palate that's defined by vibrancy of fruit. This attractive effort is produced by the Domaine de Chevalier team.

The finest vintage I've tasted from this estate, the 2020 Château Lespault-Martillac is full-bodied, round, and sexy, with a terrific mouthfeel as well as classic darker currant fruit, notes of chocolate and tobacco, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's a little gem of a Pessac-Léognan to drink over the coming two decades.

The 2020 Lespault-Martillac has a tightly-wound bouquet, with blackberry and bilberry fruit, chimney hearth and a welcome touch of brine. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that frame the slightly toasty, black pepper tinged black fruit. Quite structured with a sapid finish that urges you back for another sip. Worth seeking out, this is a very fine Pessac-Léognan.
