Comte de Malartic Rouge 2018
The reds are beautifully crafted. The Merlot offers a sublime mid-palate, with a silkiness and density that are rarely achieved. The Cabernet is spectacular, with exceptional aromatic profiles and levels of quality. The Petit-Verdots, co-fermented with the merlots, are particularly silky.
58% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
āRich with smooth tannins and generous blackberry fruits. A soft texture, ripe fruitiness and fine depth and density all contribute to a wine that will age well over the medium-term.ā ā Roger Voss at Wine Enthusiast

Chateau Malartic Lagraviere Blanc 2018
The Pessac-LĆ©ognan white 2018 is intense on the nose with pleasant aromas of stone fruit, citrus and green apple. It is a balanced white Bordeaux wine, tense, and with a freshness enhanced by a wonderful minerality. This very delicious wine develops a great aromatic bouquet on the finish, which also boasts fantastic length.

āThe 2018 Malartic Lagraviere 2018 Blanc is a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% SĆ©millon. It was fermented in oak barrels, 55% new.

āVery complex aromas of dark berries, mushrooms, earth, flowers and incense. Crushed stone, too. Full-bodied with very fine, refined tannins that are caressing and beautiful. Itās very, very long and persistent in the finish with subtle and complex flavors. This will deliver beauty with age. Drink after 2025.ā ā 96 points, James Suckling
