Note di degustazione
Based on 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc and aged in 60% new French oak with the balance in second-fill barrels, the 2023 Château Malartic-Lagravière is a gorgeous, round, and layered effort showing ripe cherries, cassis, spicy wood, and graphite on the nose. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with supple tannins and terrific overall balance. It's not massive, but it shines for its purity and finesse, and it's very much in the classic, balanced style of the vintage. Drink this outstanding Pessac-Léognan over the coming 15-20 years. Drink 2026-2046.

The 2023 Malartic Lagravière is an attractive Grand Vin, one that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Dark-toned fruit, leather, incense, licorice, grilled herbs, tobacco and chocolate open nicely. Medium in body, with good energy, the 2023 offers fine near- and medium-term appeal. There is a bit of edginess in the tannins that will benefit from some time in bottle.
The 2023 Malartic Lagravière expresses the terroir and character of Pessac-Léognan with style: blackberry and wild strawberry, black olive and marine scents, just a hint of Japanese wakame. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, smooth and harmonious, classic Bordeaux and proud of it. This is unequivocally a cut above many other Pessac-Léognan wines tasted in Bordeaux.
Enticing aromas of black currants, sweet tobacco, orange peel and peach blossoms follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and spicy, meaty and lightly chocolaty flavors. It\'s long and flavorful yet refined. Drink in two or three years.
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.
