Château Malartic Lagravière Blanc 2017

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Full, rich, fresh and floral, with a big blast of ripe, sweet, yellow citrus, vanilla, grapefruit and lemon peel. The orange on the back end comes in nicely in the long, citrus finish with just a dab of honey in all the right places.

The Malartic Lagraviere 2017 Blanc (a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon) features ripe apples, fresh hay and shaved almonds with dried herbs, preserved lemons and kumquat in the background. Medium-bodied, it is super intense and minerally in the mouth with a crisp line and long finish.

The 2017 Chateau Malartic-Lagraviere Blanc has a vibrant, almost racy, medium-bodied style that carries classy melon and citrus fruits as well as a distinct sense of salty minerality. Coming from a 7-hectare sector of their estate vineyard in the Graves region, and 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon, aged 12 months on lees in 50% new oak, it’s a beautiful white to enjoy over the coming 4-6 years or so.

Decanter Magazine

Sometimes a little aggressive when young, Malartic softens after a year or so. Lots of punchy Sauvignon character on the nose. Intense, focused and lively palate, with an intriguing cedar quality. Finishes bone-dry.

James Suckling

Attractive, fresh-lemon and grassy nuances with wild herbs and slightly flinty elements, too. The palate has such intense and fresh acidity. Fine lemons and limes and a thrillingly dry, long finish. Drink now, but better in three years.
