A winery with two faces – red and white at Grand Cru level

Château Malartic-Lagravière belongs to the Pessac-Léognan appellation, the northernmost and, for many, most significant terroir of the Graves. In the 1953 and 1959 Graves classification, the estate was granted Cru Classé status for both red and white wine—an achievement attained by only six estates in all of Bordeaux. This dual distinction as a Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé makes Malartic-Lagravière one of the most versatile names in the region.

The Bonnie family: Craftsmanship since 1997

The château has been owned by the Bonnie family since 1997. They invested in new cellar technology, expanded the vineyards to approximately 70 hectares today, and built a gravity-flow cellar that processes grapes with the utmost care. Today, the second generation, Séverine and Jean-Jacques Bonnie, manage the estate with the same commitment: precision in the vineyard, restraint in the cellar.

Terroir and grape varieties

The vineyard is situated on one of the region's oldest gravel ridges—deep Günz gravel over clay and limestone. For the red wine, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot ripen in roughly equal parts, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The white wine is based on Sauvignon Blanc with a portion of Sémillon and is aged for twelve months on the fine lees without malolactic fermentation. The result: red wines with depth and freshness, white wines with a structure that lasts for many years.

Anyone looking to get into Bordeaux wine as an investment today should look for exactly this depth of classification.
