Château Malartic-Lagravière Red 2005 Classified Growth of Graves in Red and in White Appellation Pessac-Léognan (a.o.c.) Vintage A cold, dry winter was followed by a mild spring and a very dry summer. The relatively low temperatures and cool nights provided conditions that were favourable for the flavour expression of the future wines. Overall, the vintage was characterized by dry weather with a substantial water deficit (300 mm) over the summer period, further reinforcing the year's historically dry nature. Mild weather enabled a steady growth cycle. Flowering began very early in June in optimal conditions. The climate favoured excellent health, which was further encouraged by various green harvest. Regular ploughing mitigated the effects of the drought. The white grapes began that veraison around 25 July, and the red grapes in early August. A great vintage was in the making. The rain in mid September helped to refine the ripening phase of the red grapes. The harvests took place in very peaceful conditions, with grapes of exceptional quality. As soon as the wines had fermented, it was clear that this was a "Très Grande Millésime"! |
