Château Malartic-Lagravière Blanc 2023

Green herbs, white flowers, floral and scented with wet stones, limes and green apples apples on the nose. Lovely energy and vibrancy, forward and lively, but so well balanced and harmonious. Oyster shell, salt, lemon balm and green lime skin. Scintillating, succulent and juicy in the best way. Just feels very welcoming with licks of stone on the finish. This has flesh and chew and power but is hidden by the acidity and raciness. I love this because it’s calm and hands off, nothing too much or too little. Great stuff. One of my favourites! Ageing 50% new oak. 3.25pH. Yield of 49.48hl/ha. Drinking window: 2027-2037. Score – 95. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com)
