Producer Profile
Château Malartic‑Lagravière
Château Malartic‑Lagravière is a highly regarded Cru Classé estate in the Pessac‑Léognan appellation of Bordeaux, known for producing both outstanding red and dry white wines that combine depth, precision and aromatic intensity. The estate traces its roots back several centuries and takes its name from its historical owners, reflecting a long tradition of careful vineyard care and winemaking. Situated on well‑drained gravel soils south of the city of Bordeaux, the vineyards benefit from ideal conditions, contributing to the distinctive balance and clarity found in the wines.
The estate has embraced a thoughtful approach that blends respect for tradition with modern innovation in both vineyard and winery. Vineyard practices focus on promoting vine health and optimal fruit maturity, with attention to canopy management, green harvesting and selective picking. In the winery, a combination of established techniques and contemporary equipment helps the team to handle each parcel with precision, ensuring that fermentation and maturation enhance structure, complexity and varietal expression.
Vineyard plantings include classic Bordeaux red varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, alongside Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon for the white wines. The red wines are typically characterised by concentrated dark fruit, refined tannins and an underlying mineral thread, while the white wines are recognised for their vibrant acidity, aromatic breadth and textural richness.
