Tasting notes

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (End of Mar), March 2021 92

The 2018 Malartic Lagraviere 2018 Blanc is a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon. It was fermented in oak barrels, 55% new. It opens with alluring scents of fresh pears, Golden Delicious apples and juicy peaches, followed by hints of nutmeg, dill seed and honeysuckle. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers bags of apple and stone fruit flavors with a racy line and oily suggestion to the texture, finishing on a lingering spicy note. Drink 2022-2035.

Neal Martin, vinous.com, November 2019 89/91

The 2018 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc offers attractive apple blossom, pear and flint aromas on the nose, although it does not possess the intensity and drive of the best vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with orange pith and citrus notes, pineapple and a dab of ginger on the appealing finish. Fine, though it lacks the nervosité for long-term cellaring. Drink 2020-2028.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, April 2019 95/96

A very dense and powerful young white with sliced-apple, pear and aniseed character and an undertone of fennel. Full-bodied. Salty and tangy. Great wine.

Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2019 15.5

90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sémillon; 55% new oak. Barrel sample. Strong aroma of fermentation, almost hoppy and definitely herbal. Leesy on the palate, slightly odd but certainly interesting if just a little sour on the finish. (JH) 13.5%Drink 2021-2026

Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, May 2019 92/94

The 2018 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc comes from a 7-hectare section of Malartic’s vineyards which are planted at 10,000 vines per hectare (this is very high-density plantings). A blend of 90% Sauvignon and 10% Sémillon, it has a thrilling mineral-laced style as well as racy citrus and lime fruit, medium to full body, high yet integrated acidity, and a crisp, clean, dry finish.

Matthew Jukes, MatthewJukes.com, April 2019 17.5+

A stunning wine with a long, smooth, billowing palate and amazingly clean acidity on the finish. This is one of the successes of the vintage.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (April 2019), April 2019 91/93

Fermented in 55% new barrels and blended of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon, the 2018 Malartic Lagraviere 2018 Blanc is a little closed to start, soon opening on the nose to reveal ripe apples, Bosc pears and warm peach scents with hints of wet pebbles and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with apple and pear flavors with just enough freshness and an oily texture, finishing long and spicy.
