Wow. This is a really powerful white with aromas of sliced apples, pears, yellow fruit and oyster shells. It shows undertones of vanilla and pie crust. Full-bodied and layered, with excellent depth, power and intensity. Drink in three or four years.

Clean stone fruits, spicy wood, and honeyed white flower notes, as well as a kiss of clean reduction, all define the 2023 Château Malartic-Lagravičre Blanc, which is always a classy white from this estate that’s worth attention. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with rock-solid depth and density, nicely integrated acidity, and a distinct sense of minerality on the finish. It's a beautiful, layered, textured white to enjoy any time over the coming decade or more. Drink 2026-2040.

Easily one of the leading white wines of Pessac Léognan, this is one to seek out in 2023. Expect lime leaf, pear, elderflower, citrus, cloves, white truffles, liquorice root, white peaches and plenty of switchback between tension and creamy texture. Great stuff. 50% new oak for ageing.
