The 2020 vintage is rated 92/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "Very successful, the 2020 settles in on the palate with an agreeable softness, full-bodied fruit enveloping a fine structure. The firm, harmonious finish demonstrates the seriousness of this wine, which will last a long time."

Rated 92/100 by le Guide Bettane et Desseauve 2024 

Rated 92/100 by Antonio Galloni (Vinous) « The 2018 Malartic-Lagravière Blanc offers a good bit of precision to play off the natural radiance of the year. [...] This is very nicely done. » (April 2021)

Rated 94/100 by En Magnum « Adroitement vinifié avec un petit allégement du tannin qui va dans le sens d'une recherche de plus d'élégance immédiate, finement épicé, très typé Léognan, finale fraîche et élégante. Il faut plus que jamais compter avec Malartic parmi les incontournables de l'appellation. » (Avr. 2020)

The 2018 vintage is rated 93/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Dark red colour. Intense. Intense, fresh, fruity, ripe, complex and deep nose. Ample on the attack, juicy on the mid-palate, very tasty in the middle and a tad austere, the wine evolves towards a slightly spicy finish. Good length." (September 2021)

Rated 93/100 by the Revue du Vin de France "Dense, velvety, keeping a beautiful balance, built on long, silky, accomplished tannins, with a well-integrated alcoholic generosity. Long ageing potential". (Nov. 2020)

Rated 94/100 by En Magnum "Skilfully vinified with a slight lightening of the tannin, which is in line with the search for more immediate elegance, finely spiced, very typical of Léognan, fresh and delicate finish. More than ever, Malartic is one of the must-haves of the appellation ". (Apr. 2020)

Rated 92/100 by Neal Martin « a lithe Pessac-Léognan with soft blackberry, red plum and redcurrant fruit laced with clove and white pepper towards the finish. Not a wine of astonishing complexity, but elegant and satisfying persistence. Enjoy this over the next 15 years, possibly longer. » (Feb. 2020)

Noté 91/100 par Jean-Marc Quarin « Nez très aromatique et fin, au fruité mûr. Caressant en entrée de bouche, puis suave au milieu, savoureux et très parfumé, ce vin glisse au palais, juteux et noble dans sa présence finale. C’est bon! » (Oct. 2020)

The 2016 vintage is rated 94/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Dark, intense and beautiful colour. The nose is moderately intense, with ripe fruit and a hint of the right bank. A hint of pinewood adds to the overall freshness. Smooth and melt-in-the-mouth from the outset, the wine develops a juicy, fragrant mid-palate, with a hint of resin in its flavour. It evolves fat, deep, with flavour, flesh and fine tannins." (February 2019)

Rated 95/100 by N.Martin " The 2016 Malartic-Lagravière has a wonderful bouquet of perfumed, mainly red fruit laced with potpourri, black olive tapenade and light brine-like aromas - a bouquet full of personality. The fresh, harmonious palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity and just the right amount of salinity toward the loam-tinged finish. Bon vin from the bonnies. " (january 2019)

Rated 90/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion offers plenty of ripe brambly red fruit on the nose : Cranberry and wild strawberry, hints of blue fruit in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, rounded tannins that lend a very smooth texture and approachability. Red fruit merge into blacker fruit towards the second half that displays fine spidity and quite a persistent finish. There is something sedate about this La Chapelle, comfortable in its own skin.» (December 2022)

Rated 94/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Dans un millésime où le premier vin atteint des sommets, la réussite du second est éclatante. C'est un vin complet, exubérant, fumé, dont l'ampleur et la fermeté garantissent l'avenir. » (Nov. 2021)

The 2016 vintage is rated 94/100 by La Revue du Vin de France"In 2016 the great wine imposes a presence that is still tightly wound, intense and long-lasting. It is a promising wine, full of resources, less extroverted and explosive than the 2015 but perhaps more suited to long ageing. " (Guide 2024)

The 2021 vintage is rated 96/100 by J.M Quarin (February 2024)

The vintage 2020 is rated 95/100 by N. Martin «The 2020 Pape Clément (red) has a incredibly intense bouquet with multi-layered blackberry and bilberry fruit, cedar and black olive compote aromas. Hints of vanilla pod and black truffle emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and quite assertive tannins that frame a huge weight of fruit (more than Domaine de Chevalier or Malartic-Lagravière tasted alongside). It's not a subtle Pessac-Léognan for sure, but there is adequate freshness and a sense of minerality and tension on the finish. It will require at least a decade in bottle but long-term, this will be magnificent. » (December 2022)

Rated 92/100 by le Guide Bettane et Desseauve 2024

Rated 94/100 by Neal Martin « This is clearly improving in bottle and is turning into a very fine Pessac-Léognan that will give 20 years of drinking pleasure. Excellent. » (Feb. 2020)

Rated 96/100 by Antonio Galloni « The 2017 Pape Clément is outrageously beautiful. Rich, deep and luscious on the palate, the 2017 possesses tremendous energy and richness from start to finish. [...] an unctuous, racy wine of the highest level. » (March 2020)

Rated 94/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Finement charnu en entrée de bouche, le vin se développe très parfumé au milieu, tout en prenant de la puissance. Il reste très nuancé dans sa stimulation et s’achève persistant, très agréable, sur des tannins fins pleins de saveurs. » (Oct. 2020)

The 2014 vintage is rated 93/100 by N. Martin "The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannins and layers of black fruits complemented by black pepper, cedar and spice box. The finish shows more panache than the aromas, with a palpable sense of control and concentration. This is class." (February 2024)

Rated 96/100 by N. MARTIN «The 2020 Haut-Bailly showed extremely well when I tasted it at my home during lockdown. Now in bottle since spring 2022, it upholds a wonderful bouquet with multi-layered black fruit laced with briary, fllint, blood orange and light peony scents. That orange element becomes a touch more pronounced with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fine backbone, brimming with energy and remaining harmonious from start to finish.» (December 2022)

The 2016 vintage is rated 97/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Velouté à l'attaque, juteux en milieu de bouche, avec un corps ample et néanmoins fondant, le vin se développe minutieux, profond et noble, vers une longue finale complexe et très savoureuse, au grain fin. La classe ! » (Feb. 2020)
