Description

chevron-down

A vintage with all the characteristics of the great years. The freshness and balance of the vintage are combined with dazzling fruit and a velvety texture. This vintage was characterized by quite extreme weather conditions. The spring was particularly wet,
but mild weather at the end of May-beginning of June ensured good flowering. July brought two heat waves, both followed by favorable 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 optimal ripeness. The white wines present exceptional quality. The cool August period produced excellently balanced grapes that beautifully emphasize the aromatic profiles.

Malartic white wines have traditionally been known as great cellaring wines, developing a complex aromatic palette and excellent minerality over the years. They are pure, precise, well-structured wines, with a rich range of aromas and flavors, and a certain roundness accompanied by a wonderful 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 83% and Sémillon 17% which has been aged sur lie in oak for 14 months. The freshness and balance of this vintage combined with the brilliance of the fruit and velvety texture with ample but complex tannin structure shows reflects Malartic's true signature. Aromas of grilled pineapple, cloves, lemon peel, lime and mango. White pepper, crushed stone and also some cedar. It is medium to full-bodied with bright acidity. Layered and very long. Seriously white. Needs time to open to show its true potential Drink from 2024.

FACT: In the Tab: Appendix you will find the official fact sheet of this beautiful wine. We will send it to you automatically when you order this wine. The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2021 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc Pessac-Léognan biedt een prachtige balans tussen frisse citrus- en tropische fruitaroma’s zoals ananas, mango en limoen, aangevuld met kruidige hints van peper en ceder. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij gerechten met lichte tot matige smaakintensiteit, zoals gegrilde kip, witte vis of schelpdieren, omdat de frisheid en mineraliteit de delicate smaken mooi aanvullen. Zeer geschikt voor bereidingen zoals gegrilde of gestoomde vis en schelpdieren met een frisse citroensaus, of gevogelte met een zachte, romige saus, waardoor de complexiteit van de wijn mooi tot zijn recht komt.

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.
