Carafing brought out spring flower, oyster shell, fleshy peach and vivid lime aromas. Rather round, almost creamy on the palate. Excellent mid-palate sap, concentration and density, leading to a fresh finish marked by lemon peel and kiwi fruit. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040.

This wine is crisp, fruity and zesty, with a mineral texture. Its herbal character dominates, bringing in green fruits and a beautiful grassy character. The wine is developing well but will be much better from 2021.

Youthfully brisk, with lemon peel, yellow apple and star fruit notes leading the way. A tangy quinine streak scores the finish. Tightly wound still, so a little time won't hurt. Drink now through 2023. 1,083 cases made.

The Malartic Lagraviere 2017 Blanc (a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon) features ripe apples, fresh hay and shaved almonds with dried herbs, preserved lemons and kumquat in the background. Medium-bodied, it is super intense and minerally in the mouth with a crisp line and long finish.

The 2017 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is laced with lemon confit, crushed rocks, marzipan, almond and dried flowers, all in a style that deftly balances textural richness with a good bit of vibrancy. I very much like the feeling of energy and drive here. Time in the glass brings out a more high-toned register to the aromatics. Tasted two times.

The 2017 Chateau Malartic-Lagraviere Blanc has a vibrant, almost racy, medium-bodied style that carries classy melon and citrus fruits as well as a distinct sense of salty minerality. Coming from a 7-hectare sector of their estate vineyard in the Graves region, and 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon, aged 12 months on lees in 50% new oak, it’s a beautiful white to enjoy over the coming 4-6 years or so.

Varietal: White Bordeaux

The beautifully crafted and carefully blended white wines of the Bordeaux region of France have gone down in history as being amongst the finest in the world. The secret to the success of these wonderfully flavorful, complex and elegant wines is in the selection of particularly high quality grape varietals, with French law dictating that only nine varietals of white grapes can be grown in the region and used in the production of blended white Bordeaux wine. The most common grape varietals used in the blend are Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle varietals, which each add their own flavors and aromas to the wine, balancing out each other and rounding the wine. The other six varietals are seen less and less nowadays, but are still used by certain heritage wineries and are expected to make a comeback.

Region: Bordeaux

There are few wine regions in the world with a reputation as glowing and well established as that of the Bordeaux, in France. Situated mainly around the Dordogne and Gironde rivers, Bordeaux makes the most of its humid climate and rich, clay and gravel based soils to grow some of the finest examples of red and white grape varietals on earth. Wineries in this region have been in operation for hundreds of years, and have carefully developed the expertise required for the production of carefully balanced and utterly delicious blended red and white wines, alongside some exceptional single variety bottles. Many of the chateaux found in Bordeaux have become household names, due to their prestige and the excellence of their products, grown with love and dedication by heritage wineries in this beautiful and special region.

With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
