Tasting notes
The 2006 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc, a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon, has a slightly deeper colour than the 2010. The nose is attractive with scents of yellow flowers, white pepper and a hint of curry leaf that gains intensity with the time. The palate is well balanced with a brisk line of acidity. This feels very cohesive, tensile and focused and it fans out with confidence on the lively and almost Loire-like finish. Superb. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Malartic-Lagravière.

An extraordinary effort, with notes of quince, mandarin orange, honeysuckle and wet rocks, this medium to full-bodied wine has fabulous purity, great depth, and a long, long finish. This is a 20-year wine.
