Le Comte de Malartic is Château Malartic-Lagravière’s second wine. It was given this named from 2019 vintage onwards. It is made with the same meticulous care as the grand vin, but has very much its own identity. This is a very fresh, flavourful wine, made predominantly with Sauvignon. It develops beautiful fruitiness and volume on the palate. It is best enjoyed when young, when its liveliness and generosity can be fully appreciated.
