Comte de Malartic

A perfect illustration of the appellation’s revival, Malartic-Lagravière has made spectacular progress since it was bought by the Belgian Bonnie family in 1998.

A delicate, charming wine to drink now! This second wine, formerly known as “La Réserve de Malartic”, is reminiscent of the style of its predecessor!

Merlot 82.6%, Cabernet-Sauvignon 12.3%, Petit-Verdot 5.1

Description

The freshness and balance of this vintage combine with the brightness of the fruit and its velvety texture, with a tannic structure that is both full and complex, reflecting the true signature of the Malartic terroir. This is undoubtedly a landmark vintage!
Notes of fresh, crisp red fruit. Beautiful spicy notes on aeration which reveal themselves with a fairly fine character. Pleasant fruity notes of raspberries and redcurrants, which are crunchy without being excessive, complemented by a few hints of blackcurrant. Light, subtle tannins, with a finish of good intensity, marked by hints of cherry.
