Wow. This is a really powerful white with aromas of sliced apples, pears, yellow fruit and oyster shells. It shows undertones of vanilla and pie crust. Full-bodied and layered, with excellent depth, power and intensity. Drink in three or four years.

Clean stone fruits, spicy wood, and honeyed white flower notes, as well as a kiss of clean reduction, all define the 2023 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc, which is always a classy white from this estate that’s worth attention. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with rock-solid depth and density, nicely integrated acidity, and a distinct sense of minerality on the finish. It's a beautiful, layered, textured white to enjoy any time over the coming decade or more. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2023 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc sizzles with tension and energy. Lemon confit, mint, white pepper and a kiss of French oak build effortlessly in the glass. The 2023 offers exceptional quality and personality. This is an especially fine vintage.

90-92 2023 Malartic Lagraviere Blanc offers a fine, precise, sweet and perfumed nose. The taste is on the light side but still very pleasant with crunchy notes of chalk and white flower. A fine white for medium term drinking that should be better in 2-3 years time.

Livelier and more harmonious than it appeared at the en primeur stage, the 2023 Blanc from Malartic Lagravière reveals aromas of herbs, white flowers, confit citrus and kumquat. Medium-bodied, juicy and tensile, it is precise and well-defined, structured around a lively core of fruit and concludes with a bright, citrus-inflected finish. Readers drawn to incisive, classically proportioned dry white Bordeaux will find this rendition particularly compelling.
