2020 Malartic-Lagraviere Rouge (Pessac)

Media Reviews

Neal Martin

The 2020 Malartic-Lagraviere, which represents just 40% of the total production, was cropped at 26hL/ha. It has a very delineated nose with intense blackberry, raspberry, sous-bois and incense aromas that just `sing` of Pessac-Léognan. The palate is medium-bodied, finely-knit tannins, fresh and vibrant with beguiling purity. Harmonious and silky smooth, it belies the depth and complexity of this marvelous Malartic. This is superb and it will mature beautifully in bottle. 95 points

Antonio Galloni

The 2020 Malartic Lagraviere is fabulous. Dark, ample and explosive, the 2020 offers an exciting mélange of dark fruit, lavender, spice and licorice. Even with all of its obvious size, the 2020 retains terrific freshness and plenty of delineation. 95 points

Julia Harding MW

Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Leafy and open-hearted with fresh black fruit. Firm, chewy, fresh but slightly sinewy on the finish though the harmony is there. Just very slightly dry on the finish even though there is a lot of fruit at the core. 16.5 points
