One of our long time direct import properties. From the same owners as the famed St. Julien Chateau Talbot this beauty comes from Coteaux Varois en Provence, on 15 ha of vines with a cooler and windier terroir on deep clay-limestone slopes.

The 2018 Malartic Lagravière is every bit as compelling as it was en primeur...I loved it.
This small parcel, known as a ‘clos’, formerly belonged to the Kings of France. It was considered one of the appellation’s best parcels and was purchased by the Faiveley family in 1971. This wine could be compared to a Côte de Nuits village in terms of its delicate tannins and length on the palate.
