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

Chateau Malartic Lagraviere

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 95

Drink To: 2029-2050

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 more outgoing and expressive nose than Domaine de Chevalier or Smith Haut-Lafitte, yet it too has impressive complexity and convincing terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. A lovely, fleshy mid-palate, quite caressing in style, with fine acidity and a healthy dose of black pepper on the finish. Excellent, a Malartic-Lagraviere that pushes some of the pricier names of the appellation. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Tasted blind. Minerally nose - interesting! And real vibrancy. Drying finish but I think it has enough going for it to survive. Long. (JR)
