The 2023 vintage at Malartic. Generous and elegant: the return of a great Bordeaux classic

The 2023 vintage was generous, with excellent quality for both the white and red wines. A great success 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.

A mild, rainy winter gave way to an almost tropical spring. Showing a good cluster formation, flowering homoge nous at the end of May. The vines are in good shape, regulated by an precise canopy management in terms of both the leaves and the bunches. The threat of disease was significant from May to end of July, due to the high humidity, but the Malartic vines remained healthy, with our teams monitoring them closely on a daily basis. 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, they produced fabulously precise, fresh, well-structured wines.

The Malartic 2023 wines are already proving to be splendid, with plenty of substance, freshness and elegance. They offer remarkable balance, with tannic finesse and velvety mouthfeel, which should make this vintage another great classic.
