Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 14 Sep 22
Deep garnet in colour, with opening aromatics of tobacco, coffee grounds, cocoa bean, damson and plum. With intensity and concentration, definitely feels that this has more years to go before reaching its peak. Supple silky texture, enjoyable, powerful. Harvest September 15 to October 12. Two years after the arrival of Jean-Jacques and Severine Bonnie to the family estate, purchased by the Bonnie family in 1997.
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2036

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Apr 21
A modern, lush wine, the 2005 Malartic Lagraviere packs a serious punch. Inky red/purplish fruit, leather, smoke, tobacco and mocha all race out of the glass. This is an especially flamboyant style shaped by a good deal of new French oak, but the wood is now nicely balanced. I am pleasantly surprised to see how youthful the 2005 is. I would prefer to drink this succulent, racy Pessac-Léognan over the next decade or so.

Pessac-Léognan Fine Wine

Pessac-Leognan

Pessac-Léognan, an esteemed Bordeaux appellation in the Graves region, is renowned for both red and white wines. The reds are elegant and complex, with earthy notes, blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, and graphite, supported by refined tannins and excellent ageing potential. The whites, primarily from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, are fresh, aromatic, and balanced, with citrus, tropical fruit, and floral notes, plus a creamy texture from barrel ageing. Top producers include Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, and Château Pape Clément.
