Château
Malartic-Lagravière

The vines grow on one of the region’s most beautiful gravelly rises, consisting of alluvial deposits left millions of years ago.

The Maurès family acquired Domaine de la Gravière in the late 18th century, and it was later renamed Malartic-Lagravière in honour of Hippolyte, Count de Malartic, a famous admiral in the royal navy.

The estate was acquired by Michèle and Alfred-Alexandre Bonnie in late 1996. They completely renovated the 53 hectares of vines, including 7 of white wine grapes. Designed around the gravity flow concept, the chateau’s impressive state-of-the-art vat room is used to make wine based on traditional principles.

The estate has a magnificent gravel and clay terroir, and the vines are tended with meticulous care. The soil is ploughed all year long and work in the vineyard is done according to the precepts of sustainable agriculture.

Malartic-Lagravière is one of just six Bordeaux châteaux that produce both red and white classified growths. The intense, complex and elegant wines are famous the world over and are served in the best restaurants and at the finest tables.
