Note di degustazione
The 2000 Malartic-Lagravière comprises a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It is a wine that I have only encountered once back in 2004. It has a ripe blackberry, raspberry coulis and gravel-scented bouquet that opens with a sense of confidence in the glass with fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a little meaty in style with a savory, truffle-tinged finish that just needs more depth. But this has flair and should offer another decade of drinking pleasure. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Malartic-Lagravière.

Black cherry, cassis, the fruit seems quite baked. Finishes with a strong bitter juniper note. Less interesting and complex than their 2001. Charming and classic, with a tight, restrained character that has more than a touch of austerity in its structure. (RH)
Mellow. Round. Already almost broachable already! Lots of ripe fruit and tannin. (JR)
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.
