Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The wines are well-balanced with great purity of fruit, sleek and very elegant tannins, enhanced by the very successful cellar work. The whites present terrific aromatic purity and really stand out; they are so precise, polished, round and fragrant.

Blend: 71.8% Sauvignon Blanc, 28.2% Semillon

    While its rich, this wine has fine poise and intensity. The wine's green fruit flavors are lifted beautifully by the tight texture, the subtle interplay of spice from the wood and luminescent acidity. The wine is sure to age well.
    Barrel Sample: 95-97
  • 97
    Straight-up classic notes of honeyed pineapple, chalky minerality, minty herbs, and spicy nuances emerge from the 2020 Chateau Malartic-Lagraviere Blanc, a deep, richly textured, medium to full-bodied white with nicely integrated acidity, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It's one of the finest whites I've tasted from this chateau and is well worth seeking out. I like it today, yet it should have 10-12 years or more of prime drinking as well.
  • 95
    Aromas of spearmint, fresh thyme, pears, green papaya and white lilies. Full-bodied, with beautiful structure and depth. Gorgeous fruit and intensity. Long and flavorful. So enjoyable now but will improve beautifully with age.
  • 94
    Herbal accents on the nose with creamy lemon, ginger and salty orange touches. Lots going on here, definite oak influence, too, which is a little restrictive at the moment and really does mark the palate, causing a bitter finish and stark spice though this will settle. There’s delectable fruit with a juiciness at the end and signs of energy and persistence from start to finish.
  • 91
    The 2020 Malartic Lagravière Blanc has turned out nicely in bottle, offering up aromas of sweet citrus oil, pastry cream, crushed mint and Sauvignon botanicals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy palate that's relatively textural without veering into outright unctuosity. This will appeal to readers who appreciate Sauvignon-dominant Bordeaux blends.
  • 91

    A bright, refined style, with focused white peach, gooseberry and verbena notes backed by a hint of lemon pith on the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
