2021 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc Pessac-Léognan

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.
