Why shop with us?
Malartic Lagravière Rouge 2019 is a refined Grand Cru Classé from Graves, offering the classic depth and balance Bordeaux lovers look for in a serious red. With a blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it combines power, precision, and elegance in a style that reflects both the prestige of the estate and the character of its gravelly terroir.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby color with impressive concentration. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice, often supported by hints of tobacco and toasted oak.
On the palate, it is structured and polished, with firm yet refined tannins, vibrant freshness, and a core of dark fruit balanced by savory earthy nuances. The finish is long and composed, suggesting excellent aging potential, with the 2019 vintage likely to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more.
Production
Malartic Lagravière is located in the Graves appellation of Bordeaux, where gravel-rich soils help Cabernet Sauvignon achieve ripeness, structure, and aromatic complexity, while Merlot contributes softness and mid-palate richness. The estate’s vineyards are carefully managed and the grapes are typically harvested parcel by parcel at optimal maturity.
Vinification is carried out with attention to preserving fruit purity and precision, followed by maturation in oak barrels to build texture, complexity, and finesse. The final blend brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot to create a classic Graves expression with depth and age-worthy balance.
Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game dishes, and mushroom-based preparations. It also works well with hard cheeses such as aged Comté or Manchego. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if opening young to allow the aromas and tannins to fully open.
