Chateau Malartic Lagraviere Pessac-Leognan Cru Classe Rouge 2014 i trækasse

"95 points. Going to be delicious..." - Wine Enthusiast 
"94points. Everything is right..." - Vinum Magazin
"94+ points. The 2014 Malartic-Lagravière is a gorgeous wine" - Antonio Galloni

Det er gået stærkt siden 1997, da Graves Cru Classé slottet Malartic-Lagravière blev købt af den belgiske forretningsmand Alfred-Alexandre Bonnie. Med lommer så dybe som markernes grus (sine steder op til 8 meter!) har Bonnie på få år skærpet Malartic-Lagravière fra blød, forsømt mellemvare til en af Pessac-Léognans skarpeste stjerner.

Høstudbyttet er sænket, faciliteterne renoveret og ambitiøse fagfolk tilknyttet – fx. den ønologiske konsulent Michel Rolland. Som resultat har vinene nu mere sul på kroppen, mere koncentration og samtidig mere finesse. I mange år var hvidvinen Malartic-Lagravières stolthed, men nu scorer også ”le Rouge” op til 96 point hos de store anmeldere. 

Anmeldelser af Château Malartic-Lagravière Pessac-Léognan Cru Classé 2014

95/100 Wine Enthusiast
"Tight tannins mask the ripe fruit in a wine that is set for long-term aging, so there is a dry core that dominates at the moment. But not for long: the bold black fruits are insistent and are going to be delicious. This is a structured wine that will be ready in 2026."

"Everything is right: freshness, density, aromatic potential, quality of the aging."

94+/100 Antonio Galloni
"The 2014 Malartic-Lagravière is a gorgeous wine, but it is also flamboyant and exotic, especially in its flavor profile. Super-ripe red cherry and plum make a strong first impression. Sweet floral and spice notes, along with ripe, silky tannins, add to the wine's sensuality. A rich, powerful wine with soft contours and striking depth, the 2014 is a real beauty. It will be even more compelling once the new oak tannins soften a bit further. The blend is 52 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet Franc and 3 % Petit Verdot. Tasted two times."

94/100 James Suckling
"So perfumed with a freshness and beauty that is amazing. Blackberries, black cherries and violets. Full-bodied yet so polished and velvety. Gorgeous finish. A beauty. Best ever in bottle from here? Drink in 2020."

"On the papalte well structured with medium weight and good length, juicy fruit and balanced tannins. Elegant and persistent."

93/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"With a round, silky, texture, the wine shows plenty of smoke, licorice, dark chocolate, espresso bean and ripe, juicy, plums. There is depth of flavor and fruit in the finish that carries through. The wine was made from a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot."

93/100 Decanter
"Clear breeding and ambition. Damson, pencil lead and wet stone aroma. Full extraction, more than most but without losing vibrancy and grip. An excellent 2014 – the fruit floats above the tannins, one to wait for. 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot."
