Really intense and powerful with great density and energy, showing sliced limes, green apples, stone and minerals. It’s full-bodied and very long. Extremely minerally with precision and brightness. Clear and transparent. Wow.

Crisp and bright Sauvignon character but with added depth, flesh and mouthfeel that comes across in a lovely expansion through the mid palate, and slate walls to drag things down to a snail's pace through the finish. Accomplished and classy with savoury stone fruits and rosemary edging. Drinking Window 2021 - 2032

The 2019 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is super-elegant and refined. Sweet perfumed citrus, mint, sage and floral overtones open up first, followed by light tropical inflections that recall the warmth of summer. Creamy and beautifully textured in the glass, the Blanc has so much to offer. There is more than enough brightness to balance the natural radiance of the year, with a good bit of power in reserve as well.
The 2019 Malartic Lagravière Blanc was picked from 4 September to 16 September at 47hl/ha and is matured on the lees in 55% new oak. This has a composed bouquet with light tropical notes of pineapple and passion fruit that soon give way to more malic, green apple and gooseberry scents. It is well defined and intense on the palate with a tangy saline entry. Certainly there is very good depth and tension. A welcome touch of bitter lemon imparts tension on the finish. Very fine.
