La Réserve de Malartic : Refined Expression of Pessac-Léognan

Château Malartic-Lagravière, a distinguished estate in Bordeaux's Pessac-Léognan appellation, produces La Réserve de Malartic as its second wine. This wine offers an accessible yet elegant expression of the property's terroir. The 2019 vintage is a blend of 82.6% Merlot, 12.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5.1% Petit Verdot.

The wine presents a deep garnet color with purple highlights, indicative of its youthful vibrancy. On the nose, it reveals aromas of black raspberries, kirsch, and wild blueberries, complemented by hints of hoisin sauce, potpourri, and garrigue. The palate is medium to full-bodied, delivering mouth-coating juicy black and blue fruits with a pleasant chewiness and just enough freshness, finishing savory.

Critics have lauded the 2019 vintage for its quality and approachability. Wine Advocate awarded it 90 points, noting its "invigorating notes of black raspberries, kirsch and wild blueberries." Decanter gave it 92 points, describing it as a "lovely 2nd wine, soft grilled caramel around the edges of plump black fruits, well judged extraction and great freshness through the palate." James Suckling awarded it 94 points, highlighting its "tile, stone and dusty-soil character to the dark fruit and plums."

This wine pairs excellently with red meats, game, and hearty stews. Its refined profile makes it suitable for both immediate enjoyment and further aging.
