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. In 1871, the estate attracted the attention of Edouard Kressmann who had just founded his wine merchant business in Bordeaux.
Alfred Kressmann, eldest son of Edouard, acquired the property in 1930. He changed the name to avoid confusion with its illustrious namesake in the Medoc. Château LaTour-Martillac gained widespread attention in 1934 for the celebration of the coronation of George the VI, King of England.
The classification of Graves recognised 16 châteaux in 1953, Château-LaTour-Martillac is one of only six properties classified for both red and white wines.
Jean Kressmann continued chateau legacy by succeeding his father Alfred in 1954.
Currently, Jean's family members- Tristan and Loïc manage the estate.
