Description
The richness of a pure and well-balanced white Graves Grand Cru Classé
The estate
Under the leadership of the Bonnie family, the majestic Château Malartic-Lagravière has experienced a spectacular growth. This Grand Cru Classé of Graves enjoys an exceptional location, with its vineyard superbly situated on an outcropping of gravel. Home to state-of-the-art technical facilities, Château Malartic-Lagravière shines bright within its appellation with white and red wines that stand out among the most beautiful of Pessac-Léognan.
The vineyard
Château Malartic-Lagravière white is a Pessac-Léognan wine made from a terroir composed of dry gravel and clay soils. The subsoil is made up of shell limestone and veins of clay.
The vintage
Following a cool, wet summer, the magnificent late season enabled the teams to harvest grapes that were perfectly ripe and in very good condition. Aromatic freshness, sugars, density and acidity, all the conditions contributed to the birth to an exceptional vintage.
The blend
Sauvignon Blanc (85%)
Sémillon (15%).
