Vinous
byNeal Martinthe5/27/2021
The 2020 Lespault-Martillac Blanc, owned by Olivier Bernard, has a generous nose with tropical fruit mixed with marzipan and almond shavings, quite seductive even if it does lack some delineation. The palate is well balanced and slightly honeyed in texture, touches of pineapple, peach and apricot with a lightly spiced finish. It will drink early, so don’t feel obliged to cellar for an extended period.
