Slate and gunsmoke reduction, alongside savoury grip and juice, lovely quality, white flowers, apple blossom, lime zest, great lift and quality, reserved, structured, plenty of ageing potential and hidden depths that promise future growth, and it works. 41 hl/ha, Jean-Jacques Bonnie owner with his sister Véronique.
The 2024 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc has a wonderful bouquet that is pure charm, with freshly sliced green apple, citrus lemon and touches of crushed stone. The oak is very well integrated. The palate is expertly balanced with satisfying weight and depth. The 2024's acidity deftly counters its concentration, giving way to a lightly spiced and quite persistent finish. Excellent.
Yellow citrus, pineapple, green apples, and a hint of white peach skins show in the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, juicy, ripe, sweet, and vibrant, with notes of lemon meringue, white peaches, hints of chalk, and a touch of refreshing mint in the creamy finish. The wine blends 69% Sauvignon Blanc, with 31% Semillon. 12.5% ABV, 3.2 pH.
About the producer
One of few estates classified for both red and white wine production, Malartic-Lagravière was renovated entirely after the Bonnie family purchased it in 1996. They also expanded the property to its current 53 hectares.
