Ratings:
Vintage 2019: 93/100 Wine Enthusiast Cellar Selection and 93/100 James Suckling.
“A fine wine, this is rich with layers of wood aging and ripe acidity. Owned by the Bonnie family of Malartic- Lagravière, the estate is one of the oldest in the region. The wine is impressive and should age further. Drink now or age until 2024.” Roger Voss (Published on 12/1/2023).
“This is fresh and floral with notes of limes and green apples as well spicy herbs and citrus leaf. Polished and round on the palate with a medium body and tense acidity. Focused and steady. Flavorful and creamy at the end. Drink or hold.” James Suckling.
