Tasting note

Château Malartic-Lagravière's 2017 Blanc should suggest Sauvignon Blanc aromas of grapefruit, pear and lemon, with white flowers. Pessac-Léognan fruit is expected to feel bright and finely textured, acidity sharpening the citrus and giving the palate a clean line. Its peak period runs through 2031, while the wider drinking span closes in 2036. A refreshing finish should linger with citrus peel, herbs and a faint mineral note.
