Straight-up classic notes of honeyed pineapple, chalky minerality, minty herbs, and spicy nuances emerge from the 2020 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc, a deep, richly textured, medium to full-bodied white with nicely integrated acidity, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It's one of the finest whites I've tasted from this château and is well worth seeking out. I like it today, yet it should have 10-12 years or more of prime drinking as well.
Aromas of spearmint, fresh thyme, pears, green papaya and white lilies. Full-bodied, with beautiful structure and depth. Gorgeous fruit and intensity. Long and flavorful. So enjoyable now but will improve beautifully with age. Better in a year or two.
The 2020 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is wonderfully expressive. Green pear, flowers, mint, sage and light tropical accents all grace this pretty, nuanced Blanc. All the elements are so well-balanced. This is a stand-out.
