A Bordeaux Château encouraging you to visit! Looking for one of the most diverse Bordeaux tastings? You’ll find it at Château Malartic-Lagravière.
Truly one of the most diverse tastings in Bordeaux I’ve had to date. Not only was I sipping one of the top Bordeaux Château, but I was also sipping wines made by a family that crosses into South America as well. Specifically Argentina. It is a rare experience to taste two continents in one maker’s location, particularly in Bordeaux. The owners of this Bordeaux Château are the Bonnie Family.
