With an almost manic intransigence at all stages of its development, the Bonnie family treats us to each vintage with its Malartic-Lagravière blanc, combining energy, supreme finesse and exemplary straightness.
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)

Very pleasant, complete, with finely smoky notes, the second wine of Malartic-Lagravière is a Pessac-Léognan of charm and pleasure thanks to 40% Merlot, with a quality/price ratio as always judicious.
Rated 87/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannins, although the middle and finish has sufficient earthy red fruit to keep everything balanced. » (Feb. 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)
