A fresh, clean white with some sliced lemon, green apple and crushed sea salt. Medium body. Vibrant finish. Drink now.

A little deeper in colour than the past few vintages, with golden rather than green hints, gentle lemongrass and rosemary notes set again lemon curd and sharper citrus, a hint of bitterness on the finish brings focus. First vintage under this name, second vintage with Eric Boissenot as consultant.

This is the new name for the second wine of Malartic Lagraviere. The 2020 Le Comte de Malartic Blanc blend is 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, with an alcohol of 14%. It leaps from the glass with vibrant citrus notes of freshly squeezed lemon, lime zest and grapefruit oil, plus hints of wet pebbles, nutmeg and pear drops. The medium-bodied palate has a pleasant suggestion of oiliness to the texture with a lively backbone supporting the citrusy flavors, finishing with a spicy kick.

green grapes

Varietal: White Bordeaux

The blended white wines of the Bordeaux region of France are famed worldwide for their complexity of flavor and superbly balanced characteristics. They are most commonly made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle grapes, although French law dictates that Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac can all also be used in the production of these excellent wines. For centuries, the wineries of this region have been working and perfecting the skills necessarily to get the most flavor and positive characteristics of these grapes, and other wine producing countries in the world will no doubt continue to emulate these world leaders when it comes to selecting and blending said grape varietals.

Region: Bordeaux

The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.

This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
