Very vibrant lemons and limes with tropical fruit. Hints of mangeso and melon. The palate has silky smooth fruit with seamless build and flow. Impressive. 85% sauvignon and 15% semillon. Drink or hold.

One of the stealth wines of the vintage, where the acidity – here zingy lime zest – builds slowly over the course of the palate, along with good tension and savoury herbs. Grasps on to the available freshness in the grapes and run with it. A lovely wine that will develop.

A blend of 85% Sauvignon and 15% Sémillon the 2015 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc is straight up smokin? good. Made under the guidance of Michel Rolland it boasts tons of minerality as well as classic citrus lime and tangerine nuances. With terrific elegance a fresh elegant texture and impressive concentration it just another example of how good the whites are from the Graves region in 2015. Tasted three times.

The 2015 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc has turned out nicely. The warm vintage has amped up the flavors and yet there is a good bit of freshness as well. Melon lime peel and white flowers gain in resonance with time in the glass. There is a fair amount of up-front power and resonance although some of that tapers off on the finish. I liked the 2015 a little more from barrel than from bottle. The blend is 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Sémillon. By Antonio Galloni on December 2017

The Malartic Lagraviere 2015 Blanc a blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Sémillon fermented in barrels 65% of which were new and 35% of which were one year old and the wine remained in barrel on its lees for 12 months. It features lovely lime juice lemon zest and green apple notes with fresh straw and crushed stones plus a hint of white blossoms. The medium-bodied palate is fine racy and refreshing with great intensity and length.
