Note di degustazione
A blend of 89% Sauvignon Blanc and 11% Sémillon, the 2021 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc plays in the vibrant, racy style of the vintage, yet I love its overall purity, preciseness, and vibrancy. Ripe lemon and lime fruits, mint, and sappy herbs all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and has a crisp, clean finish that will allow it to be incredibly versatile on the dinner table.

The 2021 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc, which contains less Sémillon (11%) due to frost damage, has a delightful bouquet with vibrant green apple, pear, wet limestone and light, dew-dappled lawn scents. The palate is well-balanced with a silver bead of acidity and just the right amount of citrus peel to compliment the notes of tangerine and orange pith. Bearing fine weight on the finish, this is a delicious white Pessac-Léognan that will age well in bottle.
The 2021 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is bright, airy and effusive, as it always is. Lemon peel, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks add to an impression of ethereal lift. Bracing saline notes round it out in style. The focus is on freshness, but the 2021 is also a bit austere.
The fine haze of oak spices is spot-on now with a mineral verve and lots of green stone fruit to the nose. This is broad and full-bodied on the palate with refreshing acidity and a fine bite of tannins that lends additional structure and seriousness to this white. Better from 2024.
Informazioni sul produttore
One of few estates classified for both red and white wine production, Malartic-Lagravière was renovated entirely after the Bonnie family purchased it in 1996. They also expanded the property to its current 53 hectares.
