Description

Château Malartic-Lagravière 1988 – Grand Cru Classé de Graves, Pessac-Léognan

The Château Malartic-Lagravière 1988, a Grand Cru Classé of the Graves region, is a fine representation of the elegance and structure found in the red wines of Pessac-Léognan. Nestled on deep gravel soils, the estate benefits from exceptional drainage and terroir, ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot of great finesse.

The 1988 vintage, marked by a balanced growing season, has produced a wine with excellent ageing potential. After decades of cellaring, this bottle now reveals a deep ruby hue with subtle garnet reflections. The nose offers a complex bouquet of stewed black fruits, forest floor, aged leather, and fine tobacco. On the palate, it is harmonious and refined, with softened tannins, a well-built structure, and a long, mineral-tinged finish—typical of the great terroirs of Graves.

This Château Malartic-Lagravière 1988 stands today as a beautifully mature claret, delivering a timeless Bordeaux experience with depth, elegance, and authenticity.
