Château Malartic Lagravière - Pessac-Léognan - Réserve de Malartic - Red - 2020

Wine:

The 2020 Pessac-Léognan La Réserve de Malartic Red is a textbook example of the estate’s finesse. Bursting with pure, vibrant red fruit—cherry and redcurrant—lifted by delicate floral notes and a perfectly integrated touch of oak, it offers a beautifully expressive nose. On the palate, it shines with freshness, fine-grained texture, and silky tannins, all wrapped in a pitch-perfect balance of energy and smoothness. A remarkably harmonious vintage—ready to enjoy now, but with solid aging potential ahead.

Vinification:

Hand harvested. Vinification in small thermo-regulated truncated cone-shaped wooden and stainless steel vats. Vatting for 21 to 23 days. Traditional ageing in French oak barrels for 15 months, 30% of which are new.
