Château Malartic Lagravière Blanc 2018

Alexandre MA

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

With a strong bees wax character, the wine shows off its nose of green apple, yellow citrus, lemon curd, vanilla and flower aromas with ease. Vibrant, juicy, sweet and creamy, with stony accents to its layers of fruit, the sweetness and lift in the finish comes though nicely. The wine is made from a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Semillon.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2018 Malartic Lagraviere 2018 Blanc is a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon. It was fermented in oak barrels, 55% new. It opens with alluring scents of fresh pears, Golden Delicious apples and juicy peaches, followed by hints of nutmeg, dill seed and honeysuckle. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers bags of apple and stone fruit flavors with a racy line and oily suggestion to the texture, finishing on a lingering spicy note.

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2018 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc comes from a 7-hectare section of Malartic’s vineyards which are planted at 10,000 vines per hectare (this is very high-density plantings). A blend of 90% Sauvignon and 10% Sémillon, it has a thrilling mineral-laced style as well as racy citrus and lime fruit, medium to full body, high yet integrated acidity, and a crisp, clean, dry finish.

Decanter Magazine

There's great focus on the nose here, with scents of lemon, slate, white peach and rosemary. It's definitely one of the whites with a higher level of freshness, and feels well made and carefully judged. They have achieved success in both colours in 2018, especially with the red. 55% new oak.

James Suckling

Aromas of apricot, passion fruit, lemon pie and custard. Crushed stones, fennel and cloves, too. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity and a layered, creamy texture. Long, rounded and mineral finish. Very tight and structured. Drink or hold.
