Inside Bordeaux

The 2020 Malartic Lagraviere offers up intense scents of green guava, Granny Smith apples, and fresh peaches with touches of white pepper and wet slate. Medium-bodied, the palate has a lovely satiny texture and bold freshness defining the apple and mineral flavors, finishing with great persistence.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Fine nuance, toasted oak and ample ripe fruit, yellow fruit notes with a grassy and herbal spiciness, textured and broad with fine layers and a long powerful finish.

Sommelier

Slate and gunsmoke reduction, alongside savoury grip and juice, lovely quality, white flowers, apple blossom, lime zest, great lift and quality, reserved, structured, plenty of ageing potential and hidden depths that promise future growth, and it works. 41 hl/ha, Jean-Jacques Bonnie owner with his sister Véronique.

The white Malartic Lagraviere 2023 bursts with notes of honey-drizzled peaches, fresh Golden Delicious apples, and grapefruit oil, leading to touches of mandarin peel, crushed stones, and beeswax. The medium-bodied palate has impressive tension and texture framing the intense orchard fruit flavors, finishing long and perfumed.

Pale gold, excellent grip, white pear and citrus, luscious lemon and green apple, this is a good walking the line between full exotic fruits and fleshier green apple and sage. Great stuff from this excellent property.

The 2021 Malartic Lagraviere Blanc leaps from the glass with notes of freshly squeezed lemons, lime leaves, and lime cordial, followed by hints of struck flint and grapefruit oil. Medium-bodied, the palate is nicely poised, with soft acidity and a whispery finish.

Strikes a balance between flint and creamy stone fruits, with pulses of fennel that add just the right amount of bitterness. Great momentum through the palate, this is really an excellent wine full of life and vivacity, feels skilful and makes you want to go back for more. Harvest September 4 to 16.

Expert

Great to see a 10 year old Pessac white at the tasting, and Malartic Lagravière is doing the heavy lifting of proving how well these wines can age. Wax, citrus peel, lemon zest, white flowers, juicy finish. 50% new oak.
