Aromas of spearmint, fresh thyme, pears, green papaya and white lilies. Full-bodied, with beautiful structure and depth. Gorgeous fruit and intensity. Long and flavorful. So enjoyable now but will improve beautifully with age. Better in a year or two. Rating: 95 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2023)

The 2020 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is wonderfully expressive. Green pear, flowers, mint, sage and light tropical accents all grace this pretty, nuanced Blanc. All the elements are so well-balanced. This is a stand-out. Drinking range: 2023 - 2027 Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)

Full of personality, powerful and concentrated with white pepper, grated ginger, lime and citrus purée, touch of apricot pit and nectarine, has punch and character, impressive longevity on the finish. 31hl/ha yield, 65% new oak. Eric Boissenot consultant, making one of his rare appearances outside of the Médoc. 9ha of white grapes here, at an estate that is 71ha in total. Diam cork closure. Drinking range: 2023 - 2032 Rating: 94 Jane Anson, Decanter (Feb 2023)

Like before, the 2020 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc needs time to open up, eventually revealing scents of Granny Smiths, beeswax, honeysuckle and a touch of persimmon. The palate is taut and fresh, a killer line of acidity keeping everything very tensile and on edge, with real mineralité towards the slightly reduced finish. This is bursting with energy that will make it difficult to resist in its youth…but try. Superb. Drinking range: 2026 - 2045 Rating: 93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2023)

Château Malartic Lagravière

Château Malartic-Lagravière, originally Domaine de Lagravière, is a Bordeaux wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation, ranked among the Premiers Crus for red and white wine in the Classification of Graves wine of 1953 and 1959. The winery and vineyards are located south of the city of Bordeaux, in the commune of Léognan. The Domaine de Lagravière was bought in 1803 by Pierre de Malartic whose uncle, Comte de Malartic through battles against the British in Canada and Mauritius brought fame to the name and the martime theme which is associated with this estate. The Malartic name was not applied to the estate until after 1850 however. The estate has belonged to the Bonnie family since 1997, with oenologists Michel Rolland and Athanase Fakorellis as consultants. From a property of 47 hectares (120 acres), the vineyard area consists of 41 hectares (100 acres) of the red grape varieties 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, with 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, and 6 hectares (15 acres) of the white grape varieties 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon.[3] The Grand vin, Château Malartic-Lagravière, is annually produced in 16,000 cases of the red wine and 2,500 cases of the dry white. There are also red and white second wines, Sillage de Malartic, and a rosé, Le Rosé de Malartic.
