What you will taste
Pessac-Léognan is where Bordeaux began, on deep banks of sun-warmed gravel, and Malartic-Lagravière carries that heat in its name and its glass. The 2018 is generous and smoky: blackberry and tobacco over a stony spine, tannins ripe and firm. Classed growth of Graves, family-run, and still slightly underpriced for what it pours.
The sommelier’s note
«Forty-five minutes of air and 17 degrees. Anything from the grill will feel like destiny beside it.»
