Chateau Malartic-Lagraviere white 2009 reveals an extremely rich bouquet of aromas: citrus fruits, exotic fruits (mangoes and pineapples), and delicate smoky notes. Mellow and tender in the mouth, the wine is textured and rich, showing a structure that perfectly combines complexity and elegance. Chateau Malartic-Lagraviere White 2009 has a beautiful finish with a mineral touch. Its vivid and complex aromas are signs of extraordinary potential for ageing.
J. Robinson : 16.5 / 20
A blend of 80% Sauvignon and 20% Semillon that hit 14% natural alcohol, this is serious wine boasting notes of lemon and lime marmalade intermixed with honeysuckle, a whiff of freshly cut grass and a waxy, melony character. Aromatically complex, this relatively big Malartic Lagraviere should drink well for up to 20 or more years. A great wine!
