Chateau Malartic Lagraviere 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "Very pretty and polished with blackberry, blueberry and ink character, as well as a hint of hazelnut. It’s medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins to the fruit. Fine and flavorful finish."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Verhalten, zart nach Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Preiselbeeren, frische Orangenzesten sind unterlegt. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerige Textur, zarte Extraktsüße, reife Tannine, elegant und frisch, ein balancierter Speisenbegleiter mit mittlerer Perspektive."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2023 Malartic Lagravière, a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, exudes aromas of dark wild berries, violet, mulberries, spices and licorice, complemented with a delicate touch of oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and elegant with bright acids and a delicate mid-palate, it’s refined and less structured than the 2022 vintage, making it a classic expression from this estate."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "The 2023 Malartic Lagraviere has a deep garnet-purple color. It bursts from the glass with bold notions of kirsch, wild blueberries, and cassis, plus nuances of pencil lead, tar, and cardamom. The medium-bodied palate is coated with ripe, expressive black and blue fruits, supported by plush tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing earthy."
