Critic reviews
"One of the rare wines that does not entirely confirm the expectations formed at the en primeur stage, the 2023 Malartic Lagravière reveals aromas of cigar wrapper, smoke, cassis and oak, underscored by a slightly carnal nuance. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and tannic, it is firm and somewhat rustic on the finish. Time in the cellar will be required for it to harmonize and fully reveal its potential."
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Malartic Lagravière expresses the terroir and character of Pessac-Léognan with style: blackberry and wild strawberry, black olive and marine scents, just a hint of Japanese wakame. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, smooth and harmonious, classic Bordeaux and proud of it. This is unequivocally a cut above many other Pessac-Léognan wines tasted in Bordeaux."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Malartic Lagravière is an attractive Grand Vin, one that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Dark-toned fruit, leather, incense, licorice, grilled herbs, tobacco and chocolate open nicely. Medium in body, with good energy, the 2023 offers fine near- and medium-term appeal. There is a bit of edginess in the tannins that will benefit from some time in bottle."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"Enticing aromas of black currants, sweet tobacco, orange peel and peach blossoms follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and spicy, meaty and lightly chocolaty flavors. It's long and flavorful yet refined. Drink in two or three years."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Thoroughly impressed with this wine En Primeur, and it delivers on expectations now in bottle, luscious raspberry, cassis, mint leaf, full of character and balance, appellation typicity with floral notes that add lift, savoury while still being creamy and mouthwatering. Great stuff from the Bonnie family, who continue to make this an unmissable Pessac. 38.95hl/ha yield."
