Reviews
James Suckling 95-96
A beautifully structured and complex white with pristine, bright citrus fruit and an exotic touch. There's a mineral character to it, too, with oyster-shell and crushed-stone notes. It's medium- to full-bodied with racy acidity that adds energy and tension. Very long finish with fine tannins that frame it nicely.

The 2023 Malartic-Lagraviere Blanc has a taut, correct and, in some ways, conservative bouquet that takes time to unfold in the glass. But, I appreciate the tension and mineralite. Hints of petrichor and Granny Smiths eventually take control. The palate is very well balanced with a fresh lemon sherbet-, orange pith- and lemongrass-tinged opening. There's a very appealing texture and impressive weight on the finish. Overall, this is a superb white Malartic to drink over the next 20 years.

The 2023 Malartic Lagraviere Blanc, a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon matured for 50% in new oak barrels, reveals a lemony, citrusy bouquet with aromas of lime tree leaves, pear and herbs. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, textural and layered, it's framed by bright acids and a long, elegant and mouthwatering finish.

With an intense citrus flavor, spiced with toast from wood aging, the wine has a tropical-fruit aroma. A majority of Sauvignon Blanc in the blend, gives the intense wine layers of citrus and pineapple, spice, apricot and peach flavors.
