(WE94-96 points) This wine is intense and concentrated, ripe in generous tropical and citrus fruits. There is plenty of lemon as well as grapefruit in the tight, mineral texture. It is likely to age well, and should be best from 2020.

A terrific white that’s up with the top efforts in the vintage, the 2016 Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc comes from a 7-hectare vineyard in the Graves region and is 85% Sauvignon and 15% Sémillon raised in 55% new barrels. It has terrific freshness and purity as well as medium body, a concentrated, layered, texture, perfumed notes of lemon curd, white grapefruits, and flowers, and a distinct sense of minerality. The whites in the vintage have a good mix of purity and richness, and this is a great example. It’s going to benefit from a year or two and drink well for at least a decade. Tasted twice, count me in as a fan.

It is a good combination of ripe, bright, yellow citrus, a drizzle of honey, dash of vanilla and hint of grapefruit here. The wine is juicy, crisp and refreshing, with a citrus in the finish. 94 Points Read more at:https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/search-wine-tasting-notes/?szSearch=2016%20Malartic%20Lagraviere

A richer, pale-gold colour than the 2017, this has a build up of tension and flavour that leads you smoothly from the attack through the mid-palate. You can feel the richness and juicy texture of the stone fruits, and it has both grip and poise. A vintage that suited both colours.

The Malartic Lagraviere 2016 Blanc is a blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Sémillon. The nose is youthfully muted, revealing subtle scents of lemongrass, crushed rocks, lime cordial and green mango with a waft of orange blossoms. Medium-bodied, the palate features great intensity with a lively backbone and long, textured finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
