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 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 2010 vintage is widely regarded as an exceptional year in Bordeaux. The weather conditions during the growing season were quite favourable, resulting in optimal ripeness and concentration of the grapes. The red wines in particular are known for their balance and aging potential.

The 2010 Malartic-Lagravière has an intense bouquet with blackberry, blueberry, raspberry preserve and orange pith, quite airy in style and needing a little more terroir expression to show through. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, leaning more to the red fruit than black. This is marked by very fine tannins and a supremely well judged line of acidity that lends focus and precision on the finish. Superb. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting.

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Malartic Lagraviere has a nose of prunes, dried figs and leather with nuances of cherry cough syrup, sassafras and camphor. Full-bodied, the mid-palate is a little dried out while the tannins are pretty darn chewy, finishing a tad hard. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
