2018 Chateau Malartic Lagraviere Pessac Leognan Blanc

Blend: 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Semillon

James Suckling (96/100)
Aromas of apricot, passion fruit, lemon pie and custard. Crushed stones, fennel and cloves, too. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity and a layered, creamy texture. Long, rounded and mineral finish. Very tight and structured. Drink or hold.

Pretty pineapple, honeyed lime, and a touch of minerality emerge from the 2018 Château Malartic Lagraviere Blanc. It’s another delicious, nicely textured, medium-bodied white in the vintage that brings lots of fruit as well as vibrancy and freshness. Enjoy bottles any time over the coming 5-7 years.

The estate used to belong the family of Comte Hippolyte Maures de Malartic, was known under the name of Domaine de la Graviere until 1850, when it changed name to take on its current name of Chateau Malartic-Lagraviere. The Bonnies and their team are doing everything to enable this premium terroir to express itself in all its magnificence: intra-plot management of the vineyard, High Environmental Value certification and the whole winemaking process is gravity-fed. They develop complex, balanced, elegant wines, so tailored they can be considered haute-couture.

Chateau Malartic-Lagraviere is one of the only six classified growths both for its red and white. Its wines are well known all over the world amongst the very best wines in the Pessac-Leognan appellation.
