Vinous

The 2025 Malartic Lagravière is a dark, sumptuous beauty. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, dried herbs, chocolate and cloves convey virile, almost somber, intensity. Muscular tannins add to that impression. The 2025 is going to need time to be at its most expressive, but it has a ton of potential. Tasted three times. 04/2026

Vinous

The 2025 Malartic Lagravière has a pretty nose with pure blackberry, cedar and graphite notes, turning more floral and Margaux-like with time in the glass. The oak is very well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, gentle grip, fine acidity and a smooth finish that has a patina of new oak that needs to be integrated with a couple of years in bottle. Promising, but has it got something extra up its sleeve? 05/2026

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

Introverted and shy at this stage, the 2025 Malartic Lagravière reveals aromas of spice, lead pencil and dark berries. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and somewhat lean, it shows a firm profile and concludes with a spicy, lead pencil–inflected finish. 04/2026

Couleur rouge sombre, intense, profonde et belle. Nez intense, fruité, fin, subtil, évoquant le terroir de Pessac. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, éclatant de fruits au milieu, avec de la classe dans le toucher et beaucoup de goût, le vin fond sur le palais, réglissé, floral, avec une nuance de bois de pin fumé. C'est long, doux et très parfumé. Assemblage : 57,5 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 39 % Merlot, 3 % Petit Verdot, 0,5 % Cabernet Franc. Degré d'alcool : 13° - pH : 3,6. Elevage : 70 % de bois neuf. 55 % de premier vin. 04/2026

The quality of the tannins shows through nicely, with black currants, orange peel, crushed stones and a hint of fresh herbs. It's medium-bodied with a creamy texture and lots of polish. Long, complete and succulent, with a touch of salt. A blend of 57.5% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot, 3% petit verdot and 0.5% cabernet franc. 04/2026
