The 2020 Malartic Lagraviere Blanc leaps from the glass with invigorating notes of lime blossoms, lemon meringue pie and green mango, followed by hints of wet slate, green apples and wild sage. The medium-bodied palate has a racy backbone and loads of citrus and mineral layers, finishing with a peppery kick.The tentative blend is 71.8% Sauvignon and 28.2% Sémillon. Only 30% of the total production will be bottled as grand vin, representing just 7,500 bottles. The alcohol is 14% this year.The estate has chosen a new bottle for the grand cru and second vin, highlighted by an engraved ship, the symbol of the estate. The 2020 vintage will be the first one in this brand-new bottle.
James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Malartic Lagraviere blanc 2020 Pessac Leognan Folgendes:
Lots of dried-apple and lime aromas and flavors with some green melon. It’s full-bodied and creamy with a nice combination of fruit and intensity. Phenolic and structured.
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Malartic Lagraviere:
The 2020 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc has a very well-defined bouquet, although unlike its peers, this demands a few minutes to find its voice. But it is worth the patience, delivering almost Burgundy-like citrus fruit mixed with apricot, citrus lemon and crushed stone aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that cuts through the intense notes of citrus peel, lychee and chamomile. Great energy here, and it fans out gloriously toward the finish. Sophisticated and quite delicious.

Mittleres Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Zart nach Stachelbeeren und Grapefruit, ein Hauch von Ingwer, Mandarinenzesten unterlegt, florale Nuancen nach Pfefferminze. Stoffig, feine Fruchtsüße, ein Hauch von Guaven, feiner Säurebogen, elegant und gut anhaftend, mineralisch-kalkig im Abgang, ein toller Speisenbegleiter mit sicherem Reifepotenzial.
