Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc - Pessac-Léognan - White - 2016 :

 

A Grand Cru Classé White of Impeccable Pedigree

Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is uniquely classified as a Grand Cru Classé de Graves for both its red and white expressions. This dry white Bordeaux epitomizes the elegance and aging potential of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, crafted from an exceptional gravel-rich terroir.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Colour: A brilliant, pale gold hue with youthful green flashes.
• Nose: A refined and layered bouquet of zesty citrus (lime, grapefruit) and orchard fruit (crisp pear), underpinned by a distinctive minerality of wet stone and flint. The careful maturation in French oak barrels introduces sophisticated notes of brioche and toasted nuts.
• Palate: The wine is initially crisp, developing into a wonderfully rich and creamy texture on the mid-palate. It maintains a superb line of acidity that provides tension and focus, culminating in a long, savoury, and beautifully persistent finish. A wine of true finesse.

Food Pairing & Service

Serve this sophisticated white Bordeaux lightly chilled (12-14°C) for a premium dining experience.

• Recommended Pairings: Classic shellfish dishes (Dover Sole, Crab), rich risottos, chicken or turkey with creamy sauces, and mature hard cheeses.
