2025 Chateau Malartic Lagraviere - Pessac (750ml) [Bordeaux Future ETA 2028]

Chateau Malartic-Lagravière, a Grand Cru Classé de Graves, embodies a modern day adventure in Bordeaux. Since 1996, the Bonnie family—Jean-Jacques and Séverine—have guided the estate with fresh energy, propelling the wines toward a new era of dynamism while preserving the estate’s quintessential finesse.

Protected by the pines of the Landes forest, the vineyard sits on one of the region’s most beautiful gravelly hillsides. Soils are dominated by fine gravel, mixed with shell limestone and clay, giving the wines a precise texture, structure and sense of place that is unmistakably Graves.

The 2025 vintage — a remarkable balance of richness and freshness

The 2025 vintage benefited from ideal conditions, combining warmth, welcome rainfall and generous water reserves from the winter. The vines developed harmoniously, with even flowering at the end of May and regular véraison in early August. The dry, sunny summer, despite two intense heatwaves, produced perfectly ripe grapes while preserving good levels of acidity. The white grape harvest, which began on August 26, resulted in flavourful, dense, lively and well-balanced wines, with a remarkable saline finish. The reds, harvested from September 9 to October 3, benefited from ideal timing and generous ripeness. They stand out for their refined tannins, freshness, concentration and great finesse. The 2025 vintage is therefore shaping up to be remarkable, marked by an impressive balance between richness, freshness, gourmandise and elegance.
