Le Comte de Malartic Pessac-Léognan rouge 2019 0,75l
Le Comte de Malartic Pessac-Léognan Rouge is the red second wine of Château Malartic-Lagravière, grown on gravel and limestone soils in the Graves.

Since the Bonnie family acquired the estate in 1997, vineyard renewal and a respectful, eco‑minded philosophy have shaped every decision....
