Château Malartic-Lagravière 2017 Pessac-Léognan Blanc

A classic Pessac-Léognan blend from one of the area's Grand Cru Classé estates. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon are hand-harvested from the estate's vineyards in Graves and vinified and aged in French oak barrels, 50% new, with bâtonnage. The soil is gravel over limestone, giving elegance, minerality and finesse. Aromas of tropical fruit, lemon verbena, white flowers and discreet oak lead to a layered palate with ripe citrus, yellow fruit and nutty nuances from the oak. The mouthfeel is full and creamy with fresh acidity and an elegant, long finish.
