A blend of 80% Sauvignon and 20% Semillon that hit 14% natural alcohol, this is serious wine boasting notes of lemon and lime marmalade intermixed with honeysuckle, a whiff of freshly cut grass and a waxy, melony character. Aromatically complex, this relatively big Malartic Lagraviere should drink well for up to 20 or more years. A great wine!' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
Big, ripe and delicious, this is packed with spice and sweet apricot fruits. Its full and opulent, very much a wine of 2009, yet it retains its sense of balance and structure. Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
Tasted at the Union de Grand Cru in London. This has a wonderful, almost Burgundy-like bouquet with very expressive mineralite. Crushed stone, a touch of apple-blossom and dried flowers with deftly integrated new oak. The palate is well balanced with a crisp entry, not quite as entrancing as the nose at this point, but the mineralite really comes through towards the tense finish. Excellent. Tasted October 2011. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
