92 100ParkerThe 2023 Malartic Lagravière, a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, exudes aromas of dark wild berries, violet, mulberries, spices and licorice, complemented with a delicate touch of oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and elegant with bright acids and a delicate mid-palate, it’s refined and less structured than the 2022 vintage, making it a classic expression from this estate. 2025 - 2040.

Château Malartic-Lagravière is located on a ridge of Léognan, on soils of quarternaire gravel and clay veins. This very permeable soil, capable of retaining a large reserve of water, ensures a perfect water supply for the vines. It benefits from a very beneficial microclimate and optimal sunshine.
Manual harvest in crates, double sorting on vibrating tables, vinification in small thermoregulated wooden or stainless steel truncated vats, vatting for 21 to 23 days. Traditional aging on fine lees in French oak barrels (65% new wood).
