【Feature】Château Malartic-Lagravière

Located on one of the region's most beautiful gravelly rises, Château Malartic-Lagravière was purchased by the Count of Malartic in the 18th century. It was formerly known as Domaine de La Gravière until 1850, when it was given its current name.

 

In 1997, the estate was acquired by the Bonnie family, who enthusiastically set to work making outstanding Malartic-Lagravière wines, considered one of the jewels in Bordeaux. Using a combination of intraplot vineyard management, horse-drawn ploughing, and gravity flow, the estate obtained sustainable agriculture certification in 2008 and became HEV-certified in 2015, reflecting efforts to fully express the terroir. The family and their teams are therefore able to produce complex, well-balanced, elegant, and high-quality wines.
