Description
A vintage with all the hallmarks of the great years The freshness and balance of the vintage are combined with dazzling fruit and a velvety texture. This vintage was marked by quite extreme weather conditions. The spring was particularly wet, but mild weather in late May-early June allowed for good flowering. July brought two heat waves, in both cases followed by favourable rain. The summer was sunny with a classic Bordeaux August. Thanks to a fantastic late season, the tannins of the Cabernets were able to continue to ripen and reach optimum ripeness. The white wines present an exceptional quality. The cool August period produced excellently balanced grapes that beautifully emphasise the aromatic profiles.
Malartic's white wines have traditionally been known as great wines for keeping, which develop over the years a complex aromatic palette and an excellent minerality. They are pure, precise, well-structured wines, with a rich range of aromas and flavors, and a certain roundness accompanied by a delicious liveliness. Vintage after vintage, they are characterized by balance and elegance. They are among the jewels of Bordeaux.
The Château Malartic-Lagravière Pessac-Léognan Blanc (Grand Cru Classé de Graves) is a blend of Sauvignon 76.1% and Sémillon 23.9% aged sur lie in oak for 14 months. The freshness and balance of this vintage combined with the brilliance of the fruit and a velvety texture with a generous yet complex tannin structure shows Malartic's true signature. Aromas of grilled pineapple, cloves, lemon peel, lime and mango. White pepper, crushed stone and some cedar too. It is medium to full-bodied with bright acidity. Layered and very long. Seriously white. Needs time to open up to show its true potential.

Wijnhuis
Ch. Malartic Lagravière, together with Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte, Dom. de Chevalier and Ch. Haut Bailly is one of the leaders in the Pessac Léognan appellation. Thanks to the Belgian owner Alfred-Alexandre Bonnie, who invested immensely, and the advice of Michel Rolland, the cru has improved spectacularly over the last 5 years. The magnificent terroir located in the heart of Léognan naturally also plays a major role.
