Château Malartic-Lagravière, Grand Cru Classé winery in Léognan, France
Château Malartic-Lagravière is a winery in the Bordeaux region spanning 73 hectares of vineyards on dry gravel and clay soil, producing both red and white wines. The estate operates a gravity-fed facility that shapes how the grapes move through production from harvest to aging.
Originally called Domaine de Lagravière, the estate gained its current name in 1850 when Count Hippolyte Maurès de Malartic's family acquired the property. This change marked a new chapter in the vineyard's development and ownership.
The property employs sheep to manage the vineyards naturally while blending age-old French winemaking methods with modern sustainable practices. This combination shapes how the estate operates and how visitors experience the working landscape.
Visitors can arrange guided tours and wine tastings by checking the estate's website for available dates and making a reservation in advance. Booking ahead ensures you get the time slot that works best for your visit.
The estate ranks among only six classified Bordeaux properties producing both red and white wines at Grand Cru Classé level. This dual capability remains rare and sets it apart in the region.
