2019 Chateau Malartic Lagraviere Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan 6x75cl

Chateau Malartic Lagraviere

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 94

Drink To: 2029-2049

Previously owned by the champagne house Laurent-Perrier, Château Malartic Lagravière was purchased by the Bonnie family in 1997, who still run the estate and continue to create elegant wines that are worthy of its Cru Classé de Graves status. The vineyard comprises 47 hectares that are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (c.50%), Merlot (c.25%) and Cabernet Franc (c.25%). Its terroir constitutes gravel and clay with limestone soils. After harvest, the wine is aged in 50% new French oak, where it has limited skin contact. The Malartic Lagravière constitutes a well-balanced wine that continues to grow in complexity as it ages, seeing it develop the distinct mineral characteristics that are so usually typified by wines of Pessac-Léognan.

Antonio Galloni

The 2019 Malartic Lagraviere is a showy, voluptuous wine. Racy and explosive, the 2019 certainly makes a strong first impression. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, spice and licorice abound. As always, Malartic is a pretty forward, succulent Pessac-Leognan, but the 2019 is a bit strict today. Whether that is the vintage speaking or a slight change in style, we will see.

Aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, charcoal and forest floor preface the 2019 Malartic Lagraviere, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming wine that's lively and elegant, built around bright acids and fine, powdery tannins. This has turned out nicely in bottle and shows good potential for improvement in the cellar.

Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. Heady, luscious nose. It may lack Graves freshness on the palate - let s see it has - just - enough freshness, but is still very unformed and unintegrated. (JR)
