OWNER´S DESCRIPTION
The 2023 vintage was generous, with excellent quality for both the white and red wines. A very positive point for the estate, even if it required a great deal of attention and precision in the vineyard. The threat of disease over the summer was high but successfully managed. Ultimately, it was the return of real oceanic weather, with alternating heat and rain, which led to a very complete growth cycle with uniform, fully ripened grapes. Mild temperatures until the third week of August were ideal for the white grapes. Harvested between 28 August and 8 September. The Malartic 2023 are already proving to be splendid, with beautiful substance, freshness and elegance. In white, they are very pure, precise and chiselled. They develop a beautiful structure and a good-sized palate with remarkable aromatic expression.

James Suckling 95-96/100 : “A beautifully structured and complex white with pristine, bright citrus fruit and an exotic touch. There’s a mineral character to it, too, with oyster-shell and crushed-stone notes. It’s medium- to full-bodied with racy acidity that adds energy and tension. Very long finish with fine tannins that frame it nicely”.
