Tasting Notes
Vinous 92
The 2008 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc, a blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Sémillon, has a lovely bouquet that expresses the joys of Sémillon: dried honey, honeysuckle; dandelions and melted wax billowing from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fresh, vibrant entry. There is a compelling saline note threaded to this wine, a dash of spice (ginger and curry leaf) that leads to a persistent finish. This is an excellent white Pessac-Léognan. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Malartic-Lagravière.
Anticipated maturity: 2019-2032
Robert Parker 92
A stunning blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon, this medium-bodied wine offers up hints of citrus oil, orange zest and honeyed grapefruit. It should drink well for a decade.
Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021
