2022 Chateau Malartic Lagraviere Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan 6x75cl

Chateau Malartic Lagraviere

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 94

Drink To: 2030-2065

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.

Neal Martin

The 2022 Malartic Lagraviere has a graceful and delineated bouquet that shows more precision and nascent vibrancy than most of its peers. It has blackberry, raspberry and light violet petal scents and an underlying marine influence that becomes more vocal with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, offering impressive balance. This "cool" Pessac-Leognan has a sapid finish that draws you back for more. It is excellent.

53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 2.5% Petit Verdot and 1.5% Cabernet Franc. Deep crimson. Smells dark and gravelly, almost savoury. Big, chewy tannins, powerfully structured yet filled out with fruit and the freshness pulls through on the finish. (JH)
