Owner's words
The year 2024 confronted us with a demanding nature, resulting in wines of remarkable balance, imbued with finesse and complexity. The vintage is characterized by the coolness of August, which lends the whites a rare elegance. The grapes harvested in September exhibit remarkable qualities. The 2024 Malartic-Lagravière whites are superb: Balanced and highly refined, they reveal magnificent aromatics with nice acidity. The reds, harvested from late September to mid-October at optimal ripeness, required meticulous sorting to maintain quality. In the end, the Malartic-Lagravière reds display excellent concentration with very elegant, fresh, and balanced fruit. These highly expressive aromatics are complemented by a superbly long finish. This 2024 is a testament to the resilience and expertise of the Malartic teams. Despite the climatic challenges, it stands out for its harmony and elegance, offering a vibrant aromatic profile and a promise of greatness.
