2018 Le Sillage de Malartic Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

2nd wine of Château Malartic-Lagraviére Classified Growth of Graves in Red and in White. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit-Verdot. The wines had all the characteristics of a great vintage. 2018 was a very hot year, but this had
relatively little effect on the aromatic profile of the white wines. They have superb balance, tremendous freshness, and a distinguished, elegant character. The reds are beautifully crafted. The Merlot offers a sublime mid-palate, with a silkiness and density that are rarely achieved. The Cabernet is spectacular, with exceptional aromatic profiles and levels of quality. The Petit-Verdots, co-fermented with the merlots, is particularly silky. This superb 2018 vintage comes after more than 20 years of environmentally-friendly practices at Malartic, continually striving for the best possible quality. The vineyard’s maturity is now giving its full
expression, enabling us to obtain remarkable precision on the palate and incredibly well-defined
tannins.
