About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceThe 2009 Malartic-Lagraviere is being considered as the very best wine this estate has EVER produced. An impressive claim considering the Châteaux's history and pedigree. A majority Cabernet Sauvignon blend showing impressive aromas and flavours of pencil shavings, blackberry and cigar box. The length is considerable and powerful which will see the wine develop further with careful medium to long-term ageing.

Probably the best wine that has come from this estate, along with their 2005, the final blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot boasts Michel Rolland as the consulting oenologist. This organically farmed vineyard has turned out a deeply layered wine with a striking perfume of graphite, wet stones, red and black currants, tobacco leaf and underbrush. The compelling aromatics are followed by a medium-bodied but intensely concentrated wine with loads of ripe fruit, plenty of glycerin (14% natural alcohol) and a long, nuanced, impressively endowed finish.
