JAMES SUCKLING: "Very sophisticated and structured yet weightless and agile, with a finesse, precision and length that is so wonderful. So precise and complex with vivid acidity and length. Such clarity. Really excited about this one."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Up with the crème de la crème, the 2022 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is based on 76% Sauvignon Blanc and 24% Sémillon, all of which is still aging in 50% new French oak. It has an incredible bouquet of honeyed citrus, grapefruit, and flowers to go with medium to full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It’s concentrated, has a great texture, nicely integrated acidity, and a brilliant finish. Yields here were a miniscule 18 hectoliters per hectare, and the Grand Vin is a selection of only 44% of the total production."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Rauchig-kräuterwürzig unterlegte Nuancen von Passionsfrucht und Stachelbeeren, floraler Touch. Saftig, stoffig und elegant, weißer Pfirsich, dezenter Blütenhonig im Abgang, Honigmelone im Nachhall."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, white chocolate, pineapple, spice, papaya, white peach, and orange scents are easy to pick up on the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, sweet, and fruity leaving you with creamy yellow citrus, grapefruit and white peach notes. The wine blends 76% Sauvignon Blanc with 24% Semillon. The harvest took place August 24 - September 1. 14.56% ABV, pH3.29. Drink from 2025-2032."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: „The 2022 Malartic Lagraviere Blanc needs a little swirling to unlock notes of Golden Delicious apples, white peaches, and fresh straw, leading to hints of coriander seed and white pepper. The medium-bodied palate coats the mouth with expressive apple and pear flavors, framed by seamless freshness, finishing long and spicy."

WEINWISSER: "Delikates Bouquet, frisch geriebene weiße Mandeln, Nektarine und Pampelmusenzesten. Am saftigen Gaumen mit pfeffriger Extraktfülle, nerviger Rasse und geradlinigem sattem Körper. Im gebündelten aromatischen Finale Zitrusfrüchte, edler Kreideton und Mandarine. 2024 – 2034."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A strong effort, the 2022 Malartic Lagravière Blanc reveals aromas of Anjou pear, spring flowers, verbena, linden and mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with good depth and flesh. Fresh and racy, this will offer a broad drinking window."
