Sommelier's Notes

Château Malartic Lagravière really begins at the end of the 18th century, thanks to the family of Count Hippolyte de Maurès de Malartic. However, it was not until 1850 that the new owner of the estate, Mrs. Arnaud Ricard, awarded the name of Malartic to that of Lagravière in tribute) this illustrious admiral. Finally, it is Jacques Marly who will take over the direction of the Domaine from 1947. Finally, in 1996, the Château takes a new course with the arrival of the Bonnie family at its head. Château Malartic-Lagravière is one of six Crus graded both white and red in the 1953 Graves classification.


Situated for centuries on the finest gravel hilltop in Léognan, the estate covers 73 hectares (180 acres), including 7 hectares (17 acres) of vines for white wine. Famous all over the world for its intense, complex, and elegant wines, Château Malartic-Lagravière is one of only six estates in Bordeaux classified for both its white and red wines.


Its red and white wines, both the first growth and the second wine, reflect Malartic’s ancestral terroir. They offer refinement and elegance on the palate, accompanied by a complexity and generosity that reveal the diversity and excellence of its terroir.


The Château has gained an international reputation for its wines, which are often described as "haute-couture". Harmonious, elegant and richly flavoured, they are appreciated on the finest tables.


Malartic’s red wines have a dense, juicy attack, a velvety, silky mouthfeel and superb balance, giving full expression to a long, enveloping tannic structure. Aromas of red and black fruit develop, combined with a rich, complex aromatic palette, while at the same time offering a sensation of exceptional freshness. Distinguished tannins ensure a beautiful smooth texture and an elegant structure. Retaining this elegance, the older vintages are characterized by a hint of spice and mocha-chocolate, becoming slightly smoky, and sometimes mentholated.


90 “Medium-bodied, forward, fresh, vibrant, juicy red berries are front and center here. This will be perfect on release. Enjoy it while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop.”



Wine Cellar Insider – Jeff Leve – Mars 2021


93-94 “This has tile, stone and dusty-soil character to the dark fruit and plums. It’s full-bodied and extremely refined with beautiful tannins and fruit. Currants and light chocolate at the end. Second wine..”
