2021 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc

AND PRIMEUR DISCOUNT VALID UNTIL 31/12/2023 - DELIVERY SPRING 2024

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 characterized by quite extreme weather conditions. Spring was particularly wet,
but mild weather in late May-early June ensured good flowering. July brought two heat waves, followed in both cases by favorable rain. The summer was sunny with a classic Bordeaux August. A fantastic late season allowed the Cabernets' tannins to continue to mature and reach optimum ripeness. The white wines present an exceptional quality. The cool August period produced excellently balanced grapes that beautifully emphasize the aromatic profiles.

Malartic white wines are traditionally known as great cellaring wines, developing a complex aromatic palette and excellent minerality over the years. They are clean, precise, well-structured wines, with a rich range of aromas and flavours, and a certain roundness accompanied by a wonderful liveliness. Vintage after vintage, they are characterized by balance and elegance. They belong to the jewels of Bordeaux.
