Château Malartic Lagravière
Château Malartic Lagravière, Cru Classé, Pessac Léognan, 2016
justerini & brooks tasting note
Malartic-Lagravière 2016 is a particularly delicious expression of the vintage. Perfumed red and purple fruits mingle with lavender, rose petal, mint and savoury black olive, while the palate is finely tuned, supple and beautifully balanced, finishing with trademark Graves salinity.
critic reviews
95/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2016 Malartic-Lagravière has a wonderful bouquet of perfumed, mainly red fruit laced with potpourri, black olive tapenade and light brine-like aromas - a bouquet full of personality. The fresh, harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity and just the right amount of salinity toward the loam-tinged finish. Bon vin from the Bonnies.
