Parker: “One of the Region’s Emerging Stars”

Top-scoring white Cru Classé de Graves is one of the most coveted treasures of Bordeaux. It’s a fixture of collectors’ cellars and MICHELIN-starred wine lists all over the world, so it’s almost never affordable. And back vintages are very hard to find—especially direct from the chateau.

That’s why we weren’t surprised when Véronique Bonnie, proprietor of Château Malartic-Lagravière in Léognan, winced and shook her head when we asked if she had any older vintages available. “Because we operate the winery so lean,” she said, “we usually sell out every year and we very rarely are able to offer a back vintage. But once I get home, let me check the family's personal collection to see if we can dig something up."

We’ve learned not to hold our breath after these conversations. But a week later, the call came. 

“How about magnums of the 2014?”

We were ecstatic. A cellar-direct MAGNUM with eight years under its belt—and guided to bottle by superstar consultant Michel Rolland? This was a no-brainer.

Château Malartic-Lagravière is one of only six crus classified for both whites and reds in the Graves classification of 1953. Jane Anson says in her great book Inside Bordeaux, “I have watched as [the family] has turned an under-performing, if extremely beautiful, estate into one of the most admired in the appellation.” 


The Bonnies started by building a new cellar in 1998, the same year they hired Rolland, and later renovated the cuverie. They also reduced yields across the board and initiated a more rigorous selection process between the Grands Vins and second wines. Parker called the results “an astonishing leap in quality.” And 2014 was a pitch-perfect vintage for this chateau.
