2021 Comte de Malartic rouge

Malartic Lagravière, a modern day adventure In 1996, the ship "Malartic Lagravière" took a new course with the arrival of the Bonnie family. Jean-Jacques and Séverine Bonnie, the new generation, are now at the helm of this Grand Cru Classé de Graves and are bringing the estate into a new era with dynamism, making the splendor of their wines shine. Le Comte de Malartic, a tribute to history In 2020, the name of second wine of this estate changed. Called "Réserve de Malartic", the second white and red wines will now be called "Le Comte de Malartic", in tribute to the former owner of this estate during the 18th century. 2021, a terroir-focus and expert vintage 2021 is a vintage that depended very much on the terroir and the winegrower: adaptation, agility and responsiveness were necessary at all stages of the vintage, with late pruning, maintenance of the plant cover with little ploughing, early and high-quality green harvesting to ensure uniform ripening, and management of the harvests on a daily basis with rapid decision-making. Our excellent knowledge of Malartic’s terroir enabled us to anticipate its reactions and thus maintain the quality and excellence of Malartic’s grands vins. Thanks to a long maturing period, this vintage offers superb density and magnificent freshness. The alcohol-acidity balance was excellent. Initial tastings reveal great elegance, with silky, very sophisticated red wines, characterized by freshness and aromatic clarity. There is good density with avelvety tannin texture.
