Château Malartic-Lagravière 2005 exhibits an initially restrained nose that gradually reveals layers of complexity. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum and lightly roasted coffee emerge after a period of aeration, alongside subtle hints of graphite and earth. On the palate, the wine offers a medium body with firm, structured tannins and an interplay of dark fruit and herbal nuances. The finish is marked by a notable minerality and a faint touch of green pepper. Founded in 1846, Château Malartic-Lagravière is notable for being one of the few estates in Bordeaux to produce both red and white wines of distinguished quality.
