A classified-growth Pessac-Léognan from a year when the estate deliberately cut yields to just 24 hectolitres per hectare, chasing grapes rich in sugar, colour and tannin. Château Malartic-Lagravière, in Léognan near Bordeaux, is a Classified Growth of Graves for both its red and its white. The Bonnie family bought it at the end of 1996, so 2001 comes from the early years of their ownership. The vines grow on well-drained gravel and clay-gravel over shelly limestone and clay. In 2001 a hot, dry August made up for a cold, wet July, and the grapes came in fully ripe and healthy, Merlot from late September and the Cabernets through 12 October. The blend is 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged 17 months in oak barrels, half of them new. Classic Graves with more than two decades in bottle, and you didn't have to cellar it yourself.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, entrecôte bordelaise, duck confit with sarladaise potatoes, wild mushroom and chestnut ragout

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Pessac-Léognan profile: blackcurrant, plum and cedar from the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend, with the smoky, tobacco and graphite notes the appellation is known for. Typically medium- to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. With bottle age, the style softens toward leather, earth and dried fruit, finishing dry and savoury.
