Château Malarctic-Lagravière is an esteemed estate located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. The property is currently owned by the Bonnie family, who acquired it in 1997. The Bonnie family has made significant investments in the vineyards and modernized the winemaking facilities, aiming to elevate the quality and reputation of the Château. The vineyards cover around 53 hectares and are planted with a combination of red and white grape varieties. The red grape varieties consist mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while the white grape varieties include Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. The 2009 vintage in Bordeaux, including Pessac-Léognan, is generally considered exceptional. It was a highly regarded vintage known for producing wines of great quality and aging potential.

The 2009 Malartic-Lagravière comprises a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. It has a much more sumptuous bouquet compared to the 2010, rounded and sensual with black cherries, melted tar and crushed violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the acidity a little lower than the 2010 and the tannins softer. There is enormous depth to this voluminous Malartic-Lagravière, gentle grip with a persistent tarry finish that suggests that it needs more bottle age. This is only a couple of steps behind the 2010 albeit cut from a different clothe. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Malartic-Lagravière.Neal Martin1st April 2019
