Malartic Lagravière rouge - Pessac-Léognan 2021
Malartic Lagravière, a modern day adventure
In 1996, the ship "Malartic Lagravière" took a new course with the arrival of the Bonnie family. Jean-Jacques and Séverine Bonnie, the new generation, are now at the helm of this Grand Cru Classé de Graves and are bringing the estate into a new era with dynamism. Under their leadership, the wines have been shining.
Protected by the pine trees of the Landes forest, the vineyard of Château Malartic-Lagravière is mainly located on one of the most beautiful gravelly hillsides, dominated by soils composed of fine gravel, mixed with shell limestone and clay.

2021 is a vintage that depended very much on the terroir and the winegrower: adaptation, agility and responsiveness were necessary at all stages of the vintage. Our excellent knowledge of Malartic’s terroir enabled us to anticipate its reactions and thus maintain the quality and excellence of Malartic’s grands vins.
Thanks to a long maturing period, this vintage offers superb density and magnificent freshness. The alcohol-acidity balance was excellent. Initial tastings reveal great elegance, with silky, very sophisticated red wines, characterized by freshness and aromatic clarity. There is good density with avelvety tannin texture.
