Château Malartic-Lagravière Red 2023

Double cap, thermoregulated stainless steel and oak vats

In process

The 2023 vintage was generous, with excellent quality for both the white and red wines. A very positive point for the estate, even if it required a great deal of attention and precision in the vineyard. The threat of disease over the summer was high but successfully managed.  Ultimately, it was the return of real oceanic weather, with alternating heat and rain, which led to a very complete growth cycle with uniform, fully ripened grapes.  The Merlot, harvested from 12 September, revealed real substance and freshness. The Indian summer that began at the end of September provided ideal conditions for optimal ripeness of our Cabernets, which we finished harvesting on 6 October.   The Malartic 2023s are already proving to be splendid, with beautiful substance, freshness and elegance. The reds offer remarkable balance, with an unctuous tannic touch. The palate is very velvety, with great tannic finesse and density, which should make this vintage a new classic.
