Malartic Lagravière Blanc 2017

Attractive, fresh-lemon and grassy nuances with wild herbs and slightly flinty elements, too. The palate has such intense and fresh acidity. Fine lemons and limes and a thrillingly dry, long finish. Drink now, but better in three years.

The Malartic Lagraviere 2017 Blanc (a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon) features ripe apples, fresh hay and shaved almonds with dried herbs, preserved lemons and kumquat in the background. Medium-bodied, it is super intense and minerally in the mouth with a crisp line and long finish. 2020 - 2031

Powerful and intense, this has clear Sauvignon character without being grassy. There's excellent depth of expression and a bright, zippy character that leads you through the palate. High, bright aromatics and great persistency.
Drinking Window 2019 - 2030

The pear fruit is all tied up in the oak on the nose giving an embryonic complexity. Rich and deep and so fresh. Impressive concentration and balance between crisp acidity and fruit sweetness.
Drink 2019-2023

The nose has citrusy freshness the start of the palate crisp gooseberry and lime. Sweet fruit shows in the middle more breadth of flavour and although light fresh citrusy at the back the finish has a hint of sweetness. 2021-32

Super-clean and super-vibrant, this is an ice-pick shaped lemon-zest explosion and it is delicious. The oak is perfectly managed and the whole experience is lip-smacking.
