About Château Malartic-Lagravière
Château Malartic-Lagravière, in Léognan, has been the property of the Bonnie Family for more than 25 years. Alfred and Michèle Bonnie have committed themselves to the revival of the estate since its acquisition in 1997, and their children Véronique and Jean-Jacques are now ensuring its destiny. Having enjoyed an excellent reputation from the beginning of the 19th century, the winery is one of only six properties which is classified in the 1953 Graves classification of Grand Crus Classé.
Everything in Malartic is managed with the highest precision, and quite a bit of their own storytelling. “Just like creating an award-winning film that is going to be replayed and remembered for years to come, my family and I are the guardians of a 300-year-old legacy. We are in charge of producing high-quality, unique wines, but we also work to promote our vision to carry the property into the new era with a focus on sustainable farming and protecting the natural environment for future generations” says co-owner Véronique Bonnie.
