Tasting notes
The first reassuringly top-flight white to emerge from this estate in many years, the 1998 exhibits aromas of honeyed grapefruit, citrus, smoke, peach skin, and toasty oak. Medium-bodied, impressively concentrated, long, and pure, it should drink well for 10-12 more years. Last tasted, 1/03.

About the producer
One of few estates classified for both red and white wine production, Malartic-Lagravière was renovated entirely after the Bonnie family purchased it in 1996. They also expanded the property to its current 53 hectares.
